Coconut cookies with cottage cheese
Description
To make the cookies airy, it’s important not to over‑flour the dough. So, as soon as the dough comes together in a ball, generously dust your hands with flour and round it. When shaping the cookies, it’s also best to use flour again to dust the work surface. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 5
Mix a soft, slightly sticky dough with your hands. Do not heavily flour the dough. It's better to generously flour your hands and the work surface. Place the resulting dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Then divide it into portions. In my case I got 9 pieces, averaging about 42 grams each. Shape them into "small discs".
