Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup margarine
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup shortening
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 pound cottage cheese, creamed
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 6 tablespoons marshmallow creme

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Cream together butter, margarine, cottage cheese, salt, and 4 cups of flour to form a dough. Shape into a large square, cover, and chill overnight.

Step 3

Cut dough into 4 quarters. Roll each quarter out individually, about 1/8 inch thick; cut into 8-inch strips.

Step 4

Roll over tubes (I use clothespins covered with aluminum foil). Bake in the preheated oven until brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 5

Cook and stir milk and 4 tablespoons of flour together over medium-low heat until thick paste forms. Let cool completely.

Step 6

Beat shortening and confectioners' sugar together until fluffy. Add marshmallow cream and vanilla; add cold paste and beat.

Step 7

Fill tubes with cream filling. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
