Cookies Curd

1 . Stage

Add pieces of margarine (or butter) at room temperature to the sifted flour.

2 . Stage

Grate into crumbs with your hands.

3 . Stage

Separately, mix together the yolks, cottage cheese (rubbed through a sieve or chopped in a blender), vanilla, sugar and salt. Mix well.

4 . Stage

Add the carbonated baking soda and stir again.

5 . Stage

Add the curd mass to the crumb.

6 . Stage

Knead a soft elastic dough.

7 . Stage

It turned out a little sticky, so I added a little flour to get the right look.

8 . Stage

Now divide the dough into 6 equal parts, rolling each into a ball. Place on a plate, wrap in cling film (or put in a bag) and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

9 . Stage

In the meantime, while the filling is being prepared. We need to whip the whites with sugar until stiff peaks.

10 . Stage

After 30 minutes, take out the balls (one at a time). Place on a well-floured table with flour.

11 . Stage

Roll out into a thin layer in the form of a rectangle (I had a size of about 30x40cm, about 1mm thick).

12 . Stage

Spread a thin layer of protein filling evenly (about 3-4 tbsp per layer). I used a silicone spatula for this.

13 . Stage

On the edge of the narrow side of the rectangle put halves of walnuts, leaving a little space between the nuts, as if to mark the division into cookies.

14 . Stage

Roll up into a roll.

15 . Stage

The edges of the roll can be slightly bent, so that when you cut the stuffing does not flow out.

16 . Stage

Cut into cookies so that each piece has a nut in it (this time I made with chocolate as well, very tasty especially with white chocolate!) You can first roll up, cut into pieces, and then put a nut inside each piece. It's up to you or not. ))

17 . Stage

Place all the future biscuits on a baking tray lined with parchment.

18 . Stage

Bake at 180 C until deliciously brown (about 15 minutes)

19 . Stage

Ready cookies sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy their delicate taste with a cup of tea or coffee! ))) Bon appetit everyone!!! ))) P.S.: you can see in the cut that they come out flaky. )
