I would like to make these, but where would I find dry cottage cheese, or Farmers cheese?
I looked last time I was at the Grocery store, and could'nt find it.

Emibee, if you have a deli at your walmart try there for the farmers cheese. I also think ricotta cheese would work in these but maybe ask Maddison before you make them.
