Substituting Cottage Cheese with Salted Butter

This substitution will change the flavor profile due to cottage cheese's tangy and slightly salty taste. Unlike butter, which adds a rich, creamy, and slightly sweet flavor, cottage cheese will introduce an acidic note that might clash with other sweet ingredients. This could result in a less complex flavor, lacking the buttery richness often desired in baked goods. The saltiness of cottage cheese may also overpower the subtle sweetness usually provided by butter.
