Instructions

Step 1
Prepare all ingredients. Preferably use gluten-free flour. Use the sugar substitute you are accustomed to. I use powdered stevia. Instead of vanilla extract, you can use regular vanillin or another flavouring, to taste.

Step 2
To make the dough, put the cottage cheese in a bowl, add salt and add an egg, then work the mixture thoroughly until smooth. If you like, add a sugar substitute.

Step 4
Knead a soft dough. The dough should slightly stick to your hands, but don't pack it with flour, otherwise the baked goods will turn out stale. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 9
Fold the second edge of the dough round over the filling, and at the folds press with your fingers on both sides so the round doesn’t unwrap during baking. Do the same for all the pieces. Transfer the parchment with the pieces onto a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 180–190°C for 20–25 minutes.
