Recipe instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3

Step 3
You should get a smooth, homogeneous mass.

Step 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.

Step 5

Step 5
Gradually add the dry mixture into the curd mixture.

Step 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.”

Step 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.

Step 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!
