Cottage Cheese Cookies with Meringue

Ingredients

Cottage cheese - 6.3 oz
Butter - 6.3 oz
Chicken Egg - 1 piece
Wheat Flour - 7.1 oz
Salt - 0.1 oz
Sugar - 4.6 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mash the cottage cheese (preferably soft and medium-fat) with a fork, add softened butter, egg yolk, salt, and then flour. Knead a pliable but not too stiff dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Proper cooling makes for more tender and fluffy cookies.

Step 2

Beat the egg white with sugar; if you don't achieve 'stiff peaks', don't worry, they won't be needed.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 374°F. Divide the dough into two parts, rolling each into a rectangle about half a centimeter thick.

Step 4

Spread half of the egg white mixture with sugar on the rectangle (optional: sprinkle with cinnamon), and roll it up along the long side. Cut the roll into small pieces and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up, leaving 3–4 cm between the cookies. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden.
