These cheese rolls are flaky, buttery, sweet, and 100% amazing. I got this recipe from @gotorecipes, and trust me on this- you need to make them! They are just, WOW!!! I double the recipe, and we all fight over them. These are mind-blowing-good!

I like how @gotorecipes describes these:
“The ‘work to glory’ ratio is off the charts on this one!
Three ingredients +salt.
One bowl.
Mix.
Chill.
Roll.
Bake.”
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 3/4 cup small curd cottage cheese
- 1 cup unbleached flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 T milk or heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the butter, cottage cheese, flour, and salt. Mix together.
- Form dough into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for two hours or overnight.
- Pull dough out of the fridge (if it was refrigerated overnight, let it come to room temp for about 15 minutes) and unwrap the plastic.
- Set dough onto a floured surface and roll into a 14-inch circle. With a pizza cutter, cut the dough into eight triangles.
- From the outside in, roll each triangle of dough and form into a crescent shape. Set it onto a greased baking sheet with the small corner tip of the dough on the bottom (so it doesn’t flap up while baking).
- Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes or until it is a golden color on the top.
- Let the cheese rolls rest for a minute while you make a simple glaze.
- Drizzle glaze over the tops of the rolls.
Glaze
- Whisk the ingredients together with just enough milk until it makes a consistency that's just about right for drizzling.
These are outstanding. I was a little uncertain because I’m not a big “cheese in my dessert person”, but it doesn’t taste at all like cheese. In fact, my husband detests cottage cheese and can’t stop eating these. I think next time I might add a little Solo fruit filling to some of them. I think they will taste just like a $3.50 bakery danish for a fraction of the price! Another great recipe from Amber!

Hi Linda, I’m so glad you liked them! And that you came back to tell me, that is so thoughtful! The fruit filling sounds like a great idea!
