Cooking tips
To make the cookies tender and smooth, choose a fattier cottage cheese, or break up the lumps of cottage cheese with a blender.
Flour should be sifted through a sieve to ensure that there are no lumps left in it, as the moisture content of flour becomes uneven during storage.
Before cutting the dough into diamonds, mark a grid with a knife - this will help the cookies turn out more neatly shaped.
