Curd and rice cookies with butter

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   We prepare the products according to the list and immediately measure out the required quantity. I usually do this using a kitchen scale. The butter must be allowed to melt naturally in advance so that it becomes soft and suitable for our dough. Just cut a piece of the desired weight and let it sit at room temperature for a while.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the cottage cheese into the blender bowl, add butter and beat. It is better to take homemade cottage cheese with good fat content. If you use store-bought, then choose 9%. I usually buy cottage cheese from my grandmothers at the market or from my neighbor (who keeps a cow) - she always makes it fresh and tasty.

3. STEP 3

   

   You should get a smooth, homogeneous mass.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour the rice flour into a deep, clean and dry bowl, add baking powder, sugar and vanilla sugar to it. Stir until all dry ingredients are evenly mixed together.

5. STEP 5

   

   Gradually add the dry mixture into the curd mixture.

6. STEP 6

   

   Using a silicone spatula or a regular tablespoon (whichever is more convenient for you), knead a soft, homogeneous dough. We collect it into a ball; it should not stick to your hands. Pinch off a small piece of dough and form neat balls the size of a walnut. You can use a kitchen scale to measure and weigh each ball so that they are all equal. But you can do this, as they say, “by eye.”

7. STEP 7

   

   The baking sheet must be covered with baking paper; we place our formed balls on it at a short distance, retreating from each other by about 2 centimeters.

8. STEP 8

   

   We form round cookies from the balls and flatten them slightly. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 13-15 minutes until done and lightly browned. Bon appetit!

This recipe is a real find! The rice flour cookies turned out very crispy! I had experience making cheesecakes with rice flour. There I also added a chicken egg, so I was afraid that without eggs the cookies might crumble. But my fears were not justified; rice flour cookies according to this recipe are simply perfect. Even the children appreciated it, although it is not very sweet. So, if you like it sweeter, add a little more sugar to the dough. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
