Cottage Cheese Cookies

Cottage Cheese Cookies

  • 250 g butter, at room temperature
  • 250 g small-curd cottage cheese
  • 300 g flour
  • ⅓ teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons fine granulated sugar
  1. With a wooden spoon, beat the soft butter and cottage cheese together in a bowl until smooth. Add the flour and baking powder, and knead to make a soft dough.
  2. Roll the dough between your palms into a ball, then roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 5-6 mm. Using a glass or cookie cutter measuring about 8 cm in diameter, cut out as many circles as possible. Gather any leftover dough and repeat the process.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Pour the sugar onto a flat plate. Gently press one side of the circle of dough into the sugar. With the sugar-coated side always facing inwards, fold the circle in half. Press the semicircled dough into the sugar and fold the dough in half again to form a triangular shape. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
  4. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 cm apart. Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the cookies are golden, about 35 minutes.
