Cottage Cheese Cookie Recipe

Start by gently beating the softened butter in a bowl. Add the cream cheese and mix. Then pour in the flour and baking powder and knead until obtaining a soft dough.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 5 to 6 mm. Using a cookie cutter or a glass measuring about 8 cm in diameter, cut out as many circles as possible. Gather the leftover dough and repeat the process.

Pour sugar onto a flat plate. Gently press the face of a cookie into the sugar. Then fold the cookie in half with the sugared side facing inward. Still using the same cookie, gently press it into the sugar on one side and fold again so that the sugared side is facing inward. You will get a sort of triangle. Repeat with the remaining dough.

To finish, place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 cm apart. Bake for about 35 minutes at 180°C until the cookies are golden.
