Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake crowʼs feet cookies from cottage cheese? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients. Take cottage cheese that is moist, soft, without small hard grains, with a fat content of 5-9%. Cottage cheese in briquettes is also suitable. You need a large, selected egg. Take the highest grade flour.

Step 2

Step 2
Grate the pre-frozen butter into a bowl using a coarse grater.

Step 3

Step 3
Add cottage cheese to the butter and stir.

Step 4

Step 4
Add an egg to the bowl, sift some of the flour with soda. Knead the dough. Next, add the rest of the flour a little at a time. Depending on the moisture content of the cottage cheese and the size of the egg, more or less flour may be needed. Therefore, do not rush to pour in all the flour at once. Look at the consistency. The dough itself will take as much flour as it needs.

Step 5

Step 5
The result should be a soft, elastic, non-sticky dough with small inclusions of small curd pieces.

Step 6

Step 6
Roll the finished curd dough into a ball, wrap it in film or a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour the sugar into a plate. We do not add sugar to the dough itself, because we will form cookies by rolling the dough in sugar.

Step 8

Step 8
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured table into a layer about 5 mm thick. The dough is very pliable, easily rolls out in the desired direction, and does not stick to the table. Using a glass, cut out circles from the dough. They can be any size depending on what size cookies you prefer.

Step 9

Step 9
Place the cut circle of dough on one side of the sugar and press with your fingers so that the sugar sticks well to the dough.

Step 10

Step 10
Then fold the dough with the sugar side inward. Dip the resulting semicircle into sugar again on one side.

Step 11

Step 11
And fold it in half again with the sugar inside. Roll the resulting quarter in sugar on one side and leave the other clean.

Step 12

Step 12
Using a fork, make an impression on the sugar side so that the workpiece looks like a crowʼs foot.

Step 13

Step 13
Place the pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15 minutes, then another 10 minutes at 160°C until golden brown. The exact baking time depends on your oven. Make sure the cookies donʼt burn on the bottom. If there is a Top + Bottom + Convection mode, it is better to bake on it, then the first 15 minutes of baking will be enough.

Cottage cheese cookies "Houndstooth" are ready! Bon appetit!
