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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mash the cottage cheese with a fork or process it in a blender to make it smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the mashed cottage cheese and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the tops are still pale.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
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.
