Cottage Cheese Palmier Cookies
Crisp, flaky cookies made from cottage cheese dough, with a caramelised sugar crust. Quick to make, and they freeze well once shaped.
Ingredients
Instructions
Dough
Mash the cottage cheese with the softened butter using a fork until even.
Mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the cottage cheese in stages, working it into a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Refrigerate the dough for 20–30 minutes.
Shaping
Roll the chilled dough out thinly on a floured surface.
Cut out rounds using a glass.
Mix the regular and vanilla sugar.
Dip one side of a round into the sugar, fold it in half with the sugar inside, dip again and fold in half once more — you end up with a triangle.
Repeat with all the rounds.
Baking
Arrange the cookies sugar side up on a parchment-lined tray and press each one lightly.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for about 20 minutes until golden.
