Recipe for delicious whole kisses

Ingredients:

  • 250 grams all-purpose flour,
  • 250 grams full-fat cottage cheese,
  • 250 grams of cold butter,
  • 2-3 tablespoons icing sugar,
  • 2 medium apples,
  • a pinch of cinnamon,
  • a pinch of salt.

Preparation:

  1. Prepare the dough: Cut cold butter into cubes and add to sifted flour with salt. Quickly knead the dough, adding cottage cheese and icing sugar. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the apples: Peel and core them, then slice them thinly. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
  3. Form the cookies: Roll out the chilled dough to about 5 mm thick. Cut out circles, place apple slices on half of them, and seal the edges.
  4. Baking: Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake the cookies for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Cottage cheese: It's best to use ground cottage cheese for a more delicate dough.
  • Apples: Choose sweet and juicy varieties like Swiss or Ligol.
  • Sugar: You can adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. If you like sweeter cookies, add more icing sugar.
  • Spices: In addition to cinnamon, you can add other spices to the dough, such as nutmeg, cardamom, or ginger.
