‘Kisses’ Quark Cookies
Ingredients
Dough
- 250 g home made quark see the entire recipe on my website
- 100 g softened butter of room temperature
- 30 g sugar
- 170 g all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Filling
- 50 g sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Cook quark. It would be better to make the quark the day before.
- Rub sugar with butter until smooth, add quark, bring the mixture back to uniformity. The easiest way to do this is to use a blender.
- Add flour, knead a homogeneous dough.
- Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour (you can leave it overnight).
- Preheat oven into 180 °C.
- Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Roll out the dough 2 mm thick with a rolling pin between two sheets of parchment paper. Or without its like me.
- Cut out circles with a cutter, sprinkle with sugar, fold in half, sprinkle with sugar again and fold in half. You should end up with quarters of a circle. Sprinkle the finished cookies with sugar.ORCut out circles or square with a cutter (I use a cutter for linzer cookies), sprinkle with sugar, then fold the cookie in half and sprinkle with sugar one more time. In this case you get once-folded cookie.
- Put cookies on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 minutes until browned (for cookies with 4 leayers), but check after 15 minutes (usually this time is enough for 2-layers cookies).
