Cookies made from cottage cheese and almonds

4 servings

30 minutes

Cottage cheese and almond cookies are a delicate treat from Russian cuisine that embodies simplicity and sophistication at the same time. Blanched and ground almonds give the pastry a nutty depth, while cottage cheese adds softness and a creamy texture. Vanilla notes combined with a light sweetness from saccharin create a harmonious flavor, and baking at moderate temperatures gives the cookies airiness. These small cakes are perfect for a cozy tea time; they can be served with honey, jam, or simply enjoyed for their pure nutty-cottage cheese composition. An ideal option for those who appreciate natural ingredients and classic homemade baking.
