Lady Locks

Ingredients

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

Steps

1. 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.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Cut dough into 4 quarters. Roll each quarter out individually, about 1/8 inch thick; cut into 8-inch strips.
4. Roll over tubes (I use clothespins covered with aluminum foil). Bake in the preheated oven until brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Cook and stir milk and 4 tablespoons of flour together over medium-low heat until thick paste forms. Let cool completely.
6. Beat shortening and confectioners' sugar together until fluffy. Add marshmallow cream and vanilla; add cold paste and beat.
7. Fill tubes with cream filling. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
