Method of making Easter eggs cottage cheese cookies with apricot jam
Before cooking your Easter biscuits in the form of eggs, zapreyte poppy in boiling water, let it stand and swell for 10 minutes, and then squeeze water well or throw the poppy into a fine sieve - no excess moisture in the dough.
In the bowl of the combine (or in the bowl, if you knead the dough by hand) we add cottage cheese, squeezed poppy seeds, eggs, sugar, melted butter. Put the milk aside for the time being - it will only need to be added if the dough does not want to stick together for any reason. For example, you came across dry cottage cheese, or your flour needs more moisture to form a lump.
Turn on the combine with the nozzle “knife” to mix all the ingredients until a homogeneous mixture.
Pour the sifted flour and baking powder, run the combine again. If the dough has become plastic, you can not add milk, and if you have a crumbly oily flour, pour in some milk and turn on the combine again.
The dough should be similar to the shortbread, it does not need to knead for a long time, otherwise the cookie will turn out hard. Put the dough in a ball and leave it to cool for 30 minutes in the fridge.
Next, divide the dough into two equal parts, alternately roll out onto the thinnest layer of pripylennym flour working surface. The dough in the oven rises quite well, so roll it thinly, no more than 3-4 mm.
Figure out the groove or on the paper pattern cut out the future of Easter eggs in the form of eggs. On the second part of the dough, cut out the figures on the recesses under the “yolk”. Trimming again, we roll up, roll out and cut out the figures.
We place the blanks on a baking sheet, bake at 180 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are reddened on top. Let cool.
Assembling cookies: grease the two halves of the cookies with apricot jam, fasten them together, and put the jam in the recess.
Sprinkle the cottage cheese cookies with powdered sugar without affecting the “yolk”.
Easter cookies ready. Enjoy your meal!
As you can see, there can be no difficulty in preparing this cottage cheese cookie. And the joy that it will give to your children will be remembered for a long time.
