Add in the cottage cheese, sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and half of the sugar (1/4 cup); mix until fully combined.

Set this bowl aside.

Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch square baking pan using butter or an alternative nonstick cooking product.

Pour the noodle mixture into the greased pan and spread the noodles evenly.

In a small bowl, mix together the remaining sugar (1/4 cup), corn flake crumbs, and cinnamon; sprinkle this mixture evenly on top of the noodles.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the noodle kugel for 45 to 50 minutes depending on your oven.
