Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine butter, cottage cheese, flour, and salt. Shape into a disk, and wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a well-floured surface, roll dough out to a 14-inch circle. Cut circle evenly into 8 triangles. Roll each triangle up, from wide end to tip, turning ends of roll in to form a crescent shape. Place croissants 3 inches apart on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch any drips); bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to wire rack. Cool 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make Sugar Glaze: In a glass measuring cup, add 2 teaspoons milk by 1/2 teaspoonfuls to 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, stirring until glaze is of a drizzling consistency. It should be thin enough to pour while still thick enough to coat croissants. Drizzle over croissants. Serve warm, or let cool to room temperature. Store at room temperature in an airtight container, up to 2 days.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the cheese. A good, sharp cheddar or Gruyère will give you the best flavor.
- Make sure the croissants are fresh. Day-old croissants will not puff up as well and will be more difficult to glaze.
- If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the glaze on the croissants.
- Be careful not to overcook the croissants. They should be golden brown and flaky, but not dry.
- Serve the croissants warm, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Glazed cheese croissants are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these croissants that will be sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet and savory snack, give these glazed cheese croissants a try. You won't be disappointed!
