Ingredients

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cottage cheese, softened butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
