Step by Step guide
Step 1
Wash the dried apricots well, then soak them in cold water for 20 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and cut into small pieces.
Step 2
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Pass the cottage cheese through a sieve. Melt the margarine in a water bath.
Step 3
Sift the flour into a bowl, add the baking soda, melted margarine, yolks, strained cottage cheese, and dried apricots. Mix everything thoroughly.
Step 4
Combine the egg whites, sugar, and lemon juice, and whip in a blender until stiff peaks form.
Step 5
Add the whipped egg white mixture to the dough and mix everything well.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each part into a layer about half a centimeter thick. Whip the egg white with a whisk and brush the layers of dough with the whipped egg white.
Step 7
Roll each layer into a log and cut into small pieces about 1–1.5 cm thick. Shape each piece into a round cookie.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 356°F. Place the cookies on a greased baking sheet, spaced 3 cm apart. Bake for 35–40 minutes.
