Luminous Crescents

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
• 1 pint small curd cottage cheese
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Cream the butter, cottage cheese, and salt in a bowl. Add flour, mixing until well-blended. Divide dough into 4 flat balls. Refrigerate until cold enough to roll, approximately 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Roll one ball on floured wax paper at a time, to 9- to 10-inch rounds. Sprinkle each with 1 1/2 tablespoons of each cheese. Cut each into 8 wedges. Roll up toward point. Place point side down and form crescents; sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden. Cool on racks.
