Curd cookies-envelopes

8 servings

60 minutes

Cottage cheese envelopes are a delicate treat rooted in Russian cuisine, where baking that combines simplicity and cozy flavor is traditionally valued. The dough becomes especially soft and airy thanks to the cottage cheese, while the sugary caramel crust adds a crunchy sweetness. A light hint of vanilla gives the baked goods a special aromatic warmth. These envelopes are perfect for morning tea or a cozy family evening. The simplicity of preparation makes them a favorite choice for hostesses, and the ability to experiment with fillings is an even more appealing option for sweet lovers.
