For a very long time I was looking for a recipe for cottage cheese cookies that my children would like. And finally it happened! Cookies according to this recipe turn out to be similar to puff pastries, they are very tasty, tender and simply melt in your mouth. And most importantly, children like it!
First, the cottage cheese must be kneaded well with a fork with softened butter. It is better to choose soft cottage cheese!
Mix the baking powder with some of the sifted flour and gradually add to the curd-butter mixture, mixing well.
Then add the remaining flour and knead the dough. It should be soft and not stick to your hands. There can be less or more flour, its amount depends on the moisture content of the selected cottage cheese. Place the finished dough in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for about 40 minutes (more is possible).
When the dough has cooled sufficiently, take it out of the refrigerator and roll out a layer about 0.5 cm thick (if you roll it thinner, you won’t get the puff effect!) Sprinkle the table with a little flour. We cut out cookies of any shape, I cut them out with a glass.
Pour sugar into a plate. We dip our cookies on one side (pressing them a little so that the sugar can stick to them). No need to add sugar to the dough! The cookies turn out sweet anyway.
Line a baking tray with baking paper and grease with vegetable oil. Place our cookies on a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
These cookies are a real miracle! Delicate, with a subtle curd flavor, fluffy, airy, it is great for preparing both sweet and savory desserts. Any toppings are good! I prepare the dough for about five minutes! But there is one little trick. The dough should stand in the cold: on the refrigerator shelf for 2 hours or more, and if you want it faster, 10-15 minutes in the freezer will be enough. Therefore, I prepare this dough for several days at once in the evening, so that it stands overnight in the refrigerator. Then it’s very convenient in the morning or whenever you want to break off a piece of dough and quickly prepare delicious pastries.
Ingredients
Cottage cheese - 500 gr
Butter - 250 - 300 gr
Flour - 500 gr
Salt - ½ teaspoon
Preparation
Grind the cottage cheese with butter (the butter should be soft - at room temperature) until smooth and mix thoroughly with flour, to which we add salt in advance. That's all - the dough is ready.
We form a bun out of it and put it in the refrigerator for several hours. You can put it in a sealed container, a plastic bag, wrap it in cling film... As soon as the dough cools down and becomes hard, it is ready to work.
We take the dough out of the refrigerator and make whatever we want out of it. Sweet and savory puff pastries with different fillings and no filling at all. In any case, it will be very tasty.
There is no need to grease the baking tray or pan. Place the cookies in a hot oven (200 - 220 degrees), they will be ready in 10-15 minutes, depending on the quality of your oven.
About the ingredients:
The cottage cheese should be without lumps. Choose the fat content yourself according to your desire and taste.
Butter can also be replaced with any other solid fat - margarine, for example. My grandmother made cottage cheese cookies with lard - and it was also very tasty. I didn’t even know about it for a long time, because... The taste of lard was not noticeable in the cookies.
Examples of baking from quick puff pastry
Unsweetened cookies:
1. Just puff pastries, bagels, bows without filling or slightly salted. Roll out the dough (approximately 0.5 cm thick, you can experiment with this later), cut into cubes, triangles, as you like - and into the oven. In 10-15 minutes you have delicious crispy cookies on the table, which can be spread with sweet or unsweetened additives - jam, chocolate butter, sour cream or unsweetened sauces for every taste.
2. Cheese puffs. Roll out the dough, cut into squares, add grated cheese (any kind you like), roll diagonally.
3. Puff pastries with ham (piece or finely chopped), pieces of chicken with added herbs and in general with everything you can think of and like.
Sweet cookies:
1. Mini bagels with jam. I roll out the dough into a tube, cut it into pieces and roll each into an oval or a circle (like dumplings or a little larger). Jam on top - not very liquid and roll it up. This is my family's favorite cookie. You can sprinkle the finished cookies with powdered sugar.
2. Flowers with sugar and jam. This is when you have time and desire to play a little with baking. Roll out the dough, cut out circles with a glass. Place marmalade, jam, or yolk on the bottom circle and sprinkle with sugar. Place a second circle on top, make a depression in the center with your finger for jam or jam berries. Cut the petals with a knife.
3. Think for yourself - there are many options for both fillings and baking forms. The result is always the same - very tasty!
Adviсe:
1. You need to work with this dough very quickly - you literally have a few minutes between the time the dough is taken out of the refrigerator and put in the oven. If you fiddle for a long time, the dough will soften and lose its fluffiness when baking. Therefore, do not make complex dough structures, make the simplest and fastest ones.
2. This dough, like any puff pastry, does not like “wet” fillings, so you should not make it with fresh berries and fruits. Or try changing the proportions - add more flour and roll out thinner. But this will be a slightly different dough.
3. If you don’t have a couple of hours to cool the dough, use the freezer: 10-15 minutes and the dough is ready to use.
4. This dough can be stored in the refrigerator for several days (5-6 days). The shelf life depends on the cottage cheese. At the same time, every day it does not lose its qualities, but becomes more airy and tastier. You can keep it in the freezer much longer. But before use, it is better to defrost it on the refrigerator shelf.
Bon appetit!
Delicious homemade cookies, crispy and sugary on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside, temptingly sweet, very cheesy! You probably remember it from childhood; this taste is impossible to forget. In different variations, these cookies were called “Triangles”, “Crow’s Feet”, “Shells”. Well, it’s not the name, but the fact that you definitely need to remember the old recipe and bake cottage cheese cookies! The recipe itself is simple, preparation does not take much time, and the cookies are simply indescribable, words cannot describe how delicious they are!
To prepare puff curd cookies in sugar you will need the following ingredients:
300 g cottage cheese (any fat content),
150 g butter,
300 g flour,
1 tsp. baking powder,
150 g sugar.
How to make puff pastry with sugar:
So, let's move on to the process of making puff pastries in sugar.
Combine cottage cheese and softened butter in a deep container. You can also add a pinch of vanillin.
Grind in a blender until smooth and creamy. It is important for us to break up the lumps of cottage cheese, otherwise they will burn during baking. If there are small grains of curd left here and there, it’s not a big deal.
Add flour with baking powder.
Knead soft dough.
On a floured work surface, roll out the dough into a layer 3 mm thick. Cut out circles with a diameter of 9-10 cm using a suitable size cup.
Pour sugar into a separate container. Dip one side of the dough circle into sugar.
Fold it in half with the sugar on the inside and dip one side into the sugar again.
Fold it in half again, and dip the resulting quarter circle in sugar again on one side.
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment, sugar side up and press them on top with your fingers, flatten the dough a little so that the layers do not open during baking.
Bake cookies in the oven at 200-210°C for 15-20 minutes until browned. Let the finished cookies cool. The crack clearly shows that the sugar has melted in the inner layers of the cookies and soaked the dough, while the outside has baked into a sweet crust. Mmm, delicious!
Incredibly tasty, puff pastry that simply melts in your mouth. It is prepared very easily and simply from a minimum set of ingredients. Everyone likes it without exception!!!
You will need:
cottage cheese (soft) 350 g
margarine (softened) 250 g
flour (sifted with baking powder) 420-450 g
baking powder 1 tsp.
vanillin 1 g
sugar (for sprinkling) 100 g
How to cook: 
1. Mash the cottage cheese with a fork with vanilla and softened margarine (if desired, you can replace it with butter).
2. Add flour with baking powder. I advise you not to add all the flour at once, but 400 grams, add the rest as needed. Its exact amount depends on the moisture content and fat content of the cottage cheese. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Place the finished dough in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. I had it there for about an hour. 
3. Roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about half a centimeter (do not roll it thinly - there will be no puff effect). For convenience, lightly dust the working surface and the dough itself with flour. Cut out cookies of any shape and size. 
4. Pour sugar into a saucer. Dip one side of the finished cookies into sugar and press a little so that it sticks. Place the sugar-coated cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. 
5. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees until light golden brown. This will take 15-20 minutes - use your oven as a guide! 
Let the cookies cool slightly. Warm cookies are absolutely beyond praise!
Bon appetit!
