Cottage Cheese Cut-out Cookies

7. 10. 2025

Soft, puffy, delicious, and, in short, bombastic—that’s exactly what this Christmas cookie with cottage cheese is. Taste it, too!

What will you need for the cheesecake?

• 1 1/2 cups of butter
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups of cottage cheese
• pinch of salt
• 1 bag of vanilla sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (if you don’t like cinnamon, you can add lemon zest)
• icing sugar and vanilla sugar for coating

Method:

• Put the flour in a bowl, add chopped butter, egg yolk, cottage cheese (not in a tub but in a cube), salt, sprinkle vanilla sugar with cinnamon (lemon peel), and make a smooth dough.
• Cover it with foil and rest in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours.
• Then, roll the dough on a floured rolling pin to a 0.2-inch high sheet.
• Cut out different shapes and stack them on the baking sheet (you can easily stack them close to each other because they will shrink during baking, but they will jump up).
• Bake in an oven heated to 350°F for around 8 minutes.
• While still hot, roll the baked cookies in a mixture of vanilla and powdered sugar.
