COTTAGE CHEESE PASTRIES

2C flour
1/2t salt
1C butter
1C cottage cheese
Mix flour and salt; cut in butter as you would for pie crust. Mix in cottage cheese; wrap and chill. Roll out on flour board to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch squares. Put 1 teaspoon jelly or preserves on each square. Whatever flavor you prefer. Raspberry or apricot works well. Moisten edges, pinch corners to center. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. This is Grandma's recipe, so I don't know but I think you use a ungreased cookie sheet. Remember she is in a better place, so I can't ask. Cool cookies and sprinkle with powder sugar.

This recipe is a little harder but worth it. Jackie and I went to see her husband Bill in the Christmas parade. The weather was great at 75 and a big turnout. Sleep well!
