Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Ingredients

Begin by cutting the cold butter into small cubes. This will help it blend better with the other ingredients.

Next, pass the cottage cheese through a sieve or blend it until smooth. This step is important for achieving the right texture in your cookies.

Step 2

Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dough ingredients: flour, cottage cheese, cold butter, baking powder, and the egg. Use your hands or a mixing spoon to knead the dough until it is well combined.

Be sure not to over-knead, as this can make the cookies tough. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Step 3

Shape the Cookies

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a flat layer about 0.5 centimeters thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles, approximately 6-8 centimeters in diameter.

Dip one side of each circle in sugar, then fold the circle in half. Again, dip one side in sugar and fold it once more to form a triangle shape.

Step 4

Bake the Cookies

Place the formed triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure there is enough space between each cookie as they will expand while baking.

Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven and the size of the cookies.

Servings

When it comes to serving these delightful Cottage Cheese Cookies, the options are endless! Pair them with a steaming cup of tea or coffee ☕️ for the perfect afternoon treat. You can even add a dollop of jam or your favorite spread on top for a sweet twist!

For a festive touch, try dusting them with powdered sugar just before serving; it gives a beautiful finish and a touch of elegance. 🎉

These cookies are also great for parties. Place them on a pretty platter and watch as they disappear, leaving your guests asking for the recipe! Don't forget to share the joy of baking with loved ones; these treats are best enjoyed in great company.

Variations

If you're looking to modify this recipe for different dietary needs, we’ve got you covered! 😊

Gluten-Free Variation: Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check the blend includes xanthan gum or add a small amount to help with the cookie texture. 🍪

Vegan Variation: Substitute the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). Use vegan butter in place of the cold butter for the perfect dairy-free option. 🌱

Faq

  • Why is my dough too sticky?

    If your dough is sticky, try adding just a bit more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it's manageable. It's better to add flour gradually than to add too much at once!

  • How can I make my cookies crispier?

    For a crispier texture, roll your cookies thinner before baking or increase the baking time slightly, watching closely to prevent burning.

  • Can I prepare the dough in advance?

    Absolutely! You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just make sure to wrap it tightly to prevent it from drying out.

  • What can I add to the cookies for more flavor?

    Consider adding vanilla extract, zest from a lemon or orange, or even chocolate chips to elevate the flavor of your cookies!

  • Do these cookies freeze well?

    Yes, these cookies freeze beautifully! Just place them in an airtight container and store them for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy!

  • How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

    Your cookies should be light golden on the edges and slightly soft in the center. They will firm up as they cool; so it’s okay if they look a little soft when coming out of the oven!
