2 and ¼ sticksbutter(250 g) unsalted, softened at room temperature
pinch of salt
1 and ⅓cupsplum butter(400-430 g) sweetened
1cuppowdered sugarto coat
Instructions
Put the softened butter, farmer's cheese, and flour into a bowl and knead until you have smooth cheese pastry. Knead first with a fork, then with your hands.
Wrap the dough in a foil and let it rest for 15-30 minutes in a freezer.
Heat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
Roll a portion of the dough on a floured surface until it is 1/10 inch thick.
Cut out circles about 3 inches in diameter.
Place about a ½ teaspoon of plum jam in the middle, fold the opposite sides together until the edges slightly overlap, and then press them together with a fork.
Place the cookies on a tray lined with parchment paper and bake them for about 20 minutes. When they are done, they should be light pink in color.
When you take the cookies out of the oven, let them cool down for a while, and then coat them in powdered sugar.
Notes
Makes about 70 cookies.
These cookies are great, as their taste reminds us of Christmas. Try adding vanilla powder to the sugar when coating them!
