Name: White Chocolate Cottage Cheese Cookies
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 15 servings
Ingredients: 300 g flour (adjust as needed); 250 g cottage cheese; 120 g sugar; 100 g butter; 1 egg; 1 tsp baking powder; 1 tsp vanilla extract; A pinch of salt; 30 g white chocolate; Powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

1. Step

In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture becomes soft. Add the baking powder and flour gradually, mixing as you go. Knead the dough by hand until it becomes soft and pliable. If needed, add a little more flour to achieve the right consistency.

2. Step

Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion and cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter. Arrange the cut-out cookies on a lined baking sheet. Using a small stick or the end of a spoon, create a hole in the center of each cookie.

3. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the cookies for about 25 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and immediately place a piece of white chocolate into each hole. Let the chocolate melt slightly, then sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar.
