Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 g)
  • 9 ounces farmer´s cheese (250 g)
  • 2 and ¼ sticks butter (250 g) unsalted, softened at room temperature
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 and ⅓ cups plum butter (400-430 g) sweetened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar to 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!
