• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup margarine
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 1 cup cream-style cottage cheese
• 2 eggs

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:

7. Cool and Enjoy:

   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 🌬️
