Cottage cheese cookies (simple recipe without butter)

Description

This wonderful cookie makes a great dessert with tea for both children and adults. Cottage cheese cookies are often rolled in sugar before baking, but I think dusting them with powdered sugar just before serving is a better idea. Moreover, you can mix the powdered sugar with cinnamon, for example, to make the cookies more aromatic.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Combine the cottage cheese with sugar and mix.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Add the egg yolks (you won't need the egg whites!).

3. 3

   Step 3

   Add the baking powder and flour in small portions, and knead the dough. It is important not to overdo the flour so as not to overpower the taste of the cottage cheese, but the dough should not stick to your hands.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Roll out the prepared dough thinly. Cut out circles with a glass or cookie cutters.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Fold the circles in half, then in half again. This creates cookies like these. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15 minutes at 180 degrees.
