  • The main component of cookies is cottage cheese of any fat content. It is not recommended to use granulated cottage cheese, because the grains will not allow you to knead soft and elastic dough.
  • Do not use sour cottage cheese, it is not suitable for cookies, because the characteristic sourness will not be removed even with sugar.
  • If the amount of cottage cheese dominates the dough, the biscuits will be more crumbly and crunchy. If more flour is present, the baked goods will turn out to be slightly drier and harder.
  • If you want to get more fluffy cottage cheese cookies, then rub the cottage cheese through a sieve.
