Curd cookies ears with sugar

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake cottage cheese cookies with sugar? Measure out the ingredients needed to make the dough. They must be cold, this is important. Take soft cottage cheese so that the dough is more homogeneous.

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix flour with baking powder, sift. This will enrich the flour with oxygen, and the cookies will rise well during baking.

3. STEP 3

   

   Combine cottage cheese with egg and salt. It is convenient to use an immersion blender for this.

4. STEP 4

   

   The resulting mass should be homogeneous, without lumps, and paste-like. Then the cookies will turn out more tender.

5. STEP 5

   

   Combine cold butter with sifted flour with baking powder. Please note that you may need more or less flour than I did.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grind the flour and butter with a blender until you obtain crumbly butter crumbs. You can use a food processor for this or simply grind everything with your hands. In the latter case, you need to do this quickly so that the butter does not melt from the heat of your hands.

7. STEP 7

   

   In one container, combine the curd mass and butter crumbs.

8. STEP 8

   

   Stir with a spoon first.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then quickly knead the dough with your hands. Do not knead the dough for a long time. As the process takes longer, the butter that melts from the warmth of your hands will worsen the consistency of the dough, which will make the cookies less flaky and stiff. Wrap the finished dough in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

10. STEP 10

    

    You can use spices for sprinkling sugar, depending on your taste. Instead of a spicy taste and aroma, you can make it vanilla by adding vanilla sugar to the sugar.

11. STEP 11

    

    In a rimmed plate, combine sugar and spices and stir.

12. STEP 12

    

    Divide the chilled dough into 2 parts. Put one part back in the refrigerator, roll the other on a lightly floured table into a layer no more than 3 mm thick. Do not flour the table too much, otherwise the flour will not stick to the dough. Using a glass or a special notch, cut out circles with a diameter of 8-9 cm from the dough.

13. STEP 13

    

    Dip each circle into the sugar mixture.

14. STEP 14

    

    Then fold the circle in half with the sugar side facing inward. Dip the resulting semicircle into the sugar mixture again.

15. STEP 15

    

    Fold the dough in half again so that the sprinkled side is on the inside. Place the resulting triangle on the sugar again, pressing slightly.

16. STEP 16

    

    Form all the cookies in this manner. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment, sugar side up. Combine the dough scraps, cool slightly and also cut out the cookies. This proportion yields 28-30 cookies.

17. STEP 17

    

    Bake the curd ears in a preheated oven at 190C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. At the same time, be guided by the operating characteristics of your oven and, depending on this, adjust the baking mode.

18. STEP 18

    

    Cool the finished cottage cheese cookies and serve. Bon appetit!

In our family, everyone loves cottage cheese baking, and even more so, cottage cheese cookies with sugar) What interests me most is the process itself! Although I didn’t want to knead the two parts of the dough separately. I simplified this moment a little and beat all the ingredients in a blender, including soft butter. And then I added flour and kneaded the dough. I did all this in the evening so that I could bake my favorite cookies early in the morning) At the same time, the dough cooled well in the refrigerator. For the topping, I mixed sugar, vanilla sugar and cinnamon. Very fragrant mixture! The dough turned out elastic and pliable; I dusted the table with a little flour when it stuck. I baked the ears for exactly 20 minutes at 180° until golden brown. The cookies are simply amazing! Layered inside, crispy sugar crust on the outside. I also like that the dough for this recipe is not sweet. Thanks to this, the resulting cookies are not cloying. I advise everyone to try baking these delicious cottage cheese cookies!

I really love these cookies. It’s very easy to prepare any cottage cheese from the store, you can even make it homemade. premium flour and fresh eggs. Well, every housewife has sugar in her house. The dough needs to be left in the refrigerator for an hour; it will definitely be better to roll out. These cookies turn out very airy and crispy. You can simply cut them out with cookie cutters and sprinkle sugar on top. Bon appetit.
