Cottage cheese cookies (simple recipe)

Description

Delicious baked treats for the whole family. Want your cookies to melt in your mouth? There are a few secrets to making this dessert perfect. Don't skimp on fresh ingredients, and you'll end up with homemade cookies beyond praise. Choose high-fat, dry cottage cheese that easily crumbles. Overly sour or wet cottage cheese may affect the taste of the final baked goods. Don't be afraid to experiment with add-ins: candied fruits, nuts, and dried fruits can turn simple cookies into an exquisite dessert. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Using a blender, mix the cottage cheese with the zest and finely chopped butter.

   Gradually add flour and baking powder to the resulting viscous mixture, kneading until you get an elastic dough, then set aside in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.

   Step 4

   Sprinkle sugar onto a flat plate. Dip one side of your cookie into the sugar and gently press to coat generously. Fold it in half so that the sugar is inside. Dip one of the folded sides of your cookie into the sugar again and fold it in half once more. All the sugar should now be inside the little envelope.
