– 1/2 cup cottage cheese
– 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder

Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper (or silicone baking mat)
– Mixing bowl
– Spoon or spatula
– Oven
Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that’s warming up, I usually line a baking sheet with parchment paper, making cleanup so much easier later on. In a mixing bowl, I combine my shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. The aroma of the cheese mingled with the spices always gets my tummy rumbling in anticipation! Once it’s well mixed, I like to scoop tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out a little to leave room for the cheese chips to melt and expand. Be sure to give them enough space; otherwise, they might stick together. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
