Cottage cheese chips

1 serving  Each serving provides  1/2 leaner 1 condiment  3/4 cup 2% cottage cheese  1/2 teaspoon everything but bagel seasoning  Preheat oven to 350. Mixed the 2 items together. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Put 1/2 teaspoon mounds on cookie sheet and bake for approximately 8 minutes. Always double check oven because every oven is different. It also depends on if you want them more cooked. Cook just till they start to brown around the edges. Take out of oven; cool just for a minute or so then gently pull off. They will get crispy. Approximately 24 chips but that depends on your size and how many you eat before you count!  As you can see some of mine got very brown experimenting with the correct time in oven.
