Hello!
These savory cookies are originally longer than how I made them, and people would refer them as STICKS instead cookies.
I have this cookie cutter that can cut dough into pieces of cookies over 1 sitting, instead plunging a single cutter one at a time, but the cutter is not longer in size, so I prefer to call these "sticks" as cookies instead :D
Regardless, you should give this recipe a try because they are VERY good and my SO would hide the whole box to himself whenever I make them :D
These cookies main ingredient is cottage cheese by the way, and you can top them with anything you like, from sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, to spices such as fennel or cumin seeds, and/or grated cheddar cheese, although Gouda would be best, in my opinion!
- 500 g AP flour
- 500 g cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 250 g vegetable shortening (you can use lard if you wish)
- 1 envelope/pouch of baking powder (depending on the brand, Dr. Oetker usually 12 gram while others are 15 gram, either is fine)
- 1 tsp of salt
- 3-4 tbsp sour cream
For topping, you will need:
- 1 egg
- sesame seeds, fennel, etc
- Cut shortening into flour until crumbly texture, add in the rest of the ingredients, knead.
- Divide dough into 2 portions, roll flat each, brush with beaten egg, and slice with knife (if you have cookie cutter as shown on the picture, by all mean, use it as it is easier, but it gives shorter sticks).
- Sprinkle with any toppings of your choice, I used white sesame seeds this time.
- Bake at preheated 200 C (395 F) for 20-25 minutes (until golden).
Now before I end my blog today, I have to mention, if you can get a hold of FRESH farmer's cheese (turo), these cookies would be the bomb because normally my family would make them with farmer's cheese instead American style cottage cheese. Either, they work, and so good :D
Thanks for reading :D
Once I am back fully, I will resume my daily theme, so that it would be easier for you to find them :D Thank you!
