Separate the eggs into two bowls, one with the whites (be careful there is no yolk or shells) and one with yolk. With an electric mixer, beat the whites on high, until frothy. Continue beating and slowly sprinkle in the cream of tartar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Beat the yolks with the cottage cheese for about 30 seconds. Gently, carefully, with a light hand, fold the yolks into the whites. It does not have to be "mixed" but incorporated. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then make six mounds.
