Preparation
Step 1
First, prepare the ingredients needed to make these wonderful shortcrust cookies with cottage cheese filling.
Step 2
Mix all dry ingredients well and set the bowl aside.
Step 3
In another deep bowl, add one egg and 100 g sugar. Mix to combine.
Step 4
Add 100 g softened butter and mix everything thoroughly.
Step 5
Add 100 g sour cream and mix until smooth.
Step 6
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, then mix and begin forming the dough.
Step 7
Knead the dough by hand for about 4-5 minutes until smooth.
Step 8
Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 9
For the filling, separate an egg and place the egg white into a bowl. Add 2 tbsp sugar and whisk.
Step 10
Add 350 g fresh cottage cheese to the whipped egg white.
Step 11
Add 1 tbsp sour cream and 2 tbsp cornstarch, then mix until uniform.
Step 12
After the dough has chilled, dust the table with a little flour and flatten the dough into a thick disk.
Step 13
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a thickness of 3-4 mm.
Step 14
Use a round cutter or suitable form to cut out dough circles.

Place about 1 tbsp of the filling near the edge of each dough piece. Fold the dough over and lightly press to form the cookies. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

Brush the tops of the cookies with an egg yolk mixed with 2 tbsp milk. Place the sheet into a preheated 390°F oven (200°C), then reduce heat to 375°F (190°C) and bake 25-30 minutes until golden.
