Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cottage cheese
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, mash the cottage cheese with a fork or process it in a blender to make it smooth. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the mashed cottage cheese and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Lightly flour your hands and a clean surface. Scoop out small portions of dough (about a tablespoon each) and shape them into balls. Flatten each ball lightly with your hands or the bottom of a glass.
Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the tops are still pale.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as is, or dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
