✅ Apple Kiss Cookies
🔸 Makes about 30
◽ 250 g all-purpose flour, type 450-550
◽ 250 g full-fat cottage cheese
◽ 200 g cold butter
◽ 1 egg yolk (large egg)
◽ 2-3 tart apples
◽ sugar for sprinkling and filling (optional)
◽ egg white (for brushing the top)
The dough ingredients should be cold, straight from the refrigerator.
🔽
Pour sifted flour into a mixing bowl or onto a pastry board. 🔽
Next, add the cheese, finely chopped cold butter, and egg yolk. Knead everything with a K-type mixer until a smooth dough forms.
🔽
If you're kneading the dough on a pastry board, first chop all the ingredients with a knife, mixing them into the flour. Then knead the dough thoroughly, not extending the kneading time beyond necessary.
If the dough sticks to your hands or the pastry board, you can sprinkle it with additional flour.
🔽
Flatten the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill.
🔽
Meanwhile, peel and quarter the apples, removing the cores. Cut each quarter into 4-5 pieces (depending on the size of the apple). 🔽
Next, divide the chilled dough in half and roll it out to a thickness of about 4-5 mm, dusting it with flour to prevent it from sticking to the surface.
🔽
Using a round cookie cutter or a 7-8 cm cup, cut out circles. Place an apple on one half, with the thicker part facing out. Place the apple on top with the other half of the dough and press down lightly. If desired, add a little sugar to the center.
🔽
Place the finished cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
When all cookies are ready, brush the tops with egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
🔽
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) with a top and bottom heat (no convection) (170-180°C (392°F) with a convection setting) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. 🔽
After baking, remove them from the oven immediately and let them cool briefly before removing them from the baking sheet. You can sprinkle the top with powdered sugar.
