Blue Ribbon Recipe

These cottage cheese fudge cookies are a chewy cookie filled with chocolate flavor. Their texture is similar to a brownie. After being rolled in powdered sugar and baked, they look like a crinkle cookie. You'd never guess there's cottage cheese. You don't taste it, but it helps with the texture of the cookie.
