Preparation

Step 1

Mash the butter with a fork, add both types of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cottage cheese and mix well with a fork until smooth and fluffy. This will be much easier if the butter is warm.

Step 2

Sift the flour and baking powder together until they're aerated and well-combined. Add them to the curd mixture, a little at a time, and knead the dough. Finally, add the milk and continue kneading. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for half an hour.

Step 3

Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface into a thin rectangular layer and cut into 16 squares.

Step 4

Place 1 teaspoon of filling on each square, moisten the edges with milk using a pastry brush. Fold in half to form a triangle and seal the edges with the tines of a fork.

Step 5

When ready, place the curd triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 6

Bake the cookies in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25 minutes.

Step 7

The curd corners are ready. Just look how neat and beautiful they turn out. Dust them with powdered sugar if desired and serve.

About choosing cottage cheese

In this recipe, the type of cottage cheese you use isn't so important. The dessert will get most of its fat from the butter. However, it's important to keep an eye on the cottage cheese's moisture content. If it's leaking whey, squeeze it out first using cheesecloth. This will ensure you don't need to add additional flour.

These cottage cheese corners could very well become your signature dessert, surprising your loved ones with different fillings every time. Save the recipe and don't forget to share it with your friends!
