Ingredients for cottage cheese cookies with cardamom and cinnamon
- 200 g of fat cottage cheese;
- 120 g butter;
- 300 g wheat flour;
- 100 g of fine sugar;
- 10 g ground cinnamon;
- 5-6 boxes of cardamom;

Method of making cottage cheese cookies with cardamom and cinnamon
Sift the wheat flour into a bowl, add 1/3 tsp of baking soda or baking powder. We crush the boxes of cardamom with a pestle, pour the seeds into a mortar, and grind it into powder. Mix flour with mashed cardamom.
Cut butter into cubes. Add chopped butter in a bowl of flour. Shortcrust dough butter should be cold, so there is no need to get it in advance from the refrigerator, and the dough should be prepared as quickly as possible.
Rub hands with flour and butter to make a sandy crumb.
Next, add a pack of fat cottage cheese. It is important that the curd is fresh, non-acidic. These are all ingredients for the dough for cottage cheese cookies with cardamom and cinnamon. As you can see, they are simple and accessible.
Now knead the dough - powder flour desktop or board, spread the mass, quickly mix, roll into a bun. Put the bun in the bowl, put it in the fridge for 20 minutes and, meanwhile, heat the oven to a temperature of 160-180 degrees Celsius.
Sprinkle flour on the board, roll out the dough with a layer thickness of about 3 to 4 millimeters.
We take a glass made of thin glass with a sharp edge, a circle diameter of + \ - 8 centimeters. Cut a glass circles, collect the remnants (trim) of the dough, roll out again, and cut out more cookies.
Pour into a plate of fine sugar and ground cinnamon, mix.
Put a circle of dough in a plate of sugar, then fold the sugar in half in half, half dipped in sugar with cinnamon again. Again, fold in half with sugar, dipping the top quarter into sugar. The bottom of the cookies in sugar can not be dunked - will burn!
Put a sheet of oiled parchment on a baking sheet. On the parchment we spread our cottage cheese cookies with cardamom and cinnamon at a distance of 1.5-2 centimeters from each other.
Send the baking tray to the preheated oven, bake for 15-20 minutes. The time and temperature of baking depends on the characteristics of your oven, and may differ slightly from my recommendations.
Serving with milk or tea, enjoying, remembering childhood! Enjoy your meal!
