Directions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese (or ricotta), softened butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth. Add baking powder and gradually mix in the flour, stirring until well incorporated. Knead lightly with your hands, adding a little more flour if needed, until you have a soft, non-sticky dough.
-
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Shape each ball into a flower design (you can use a piping bag, cookie cutter, or shape by hand). Press a small hole in the center of each flower and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Fill the center of each cookie with jam.
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake for about 20–25 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
