Cottage Cheese "Ears" Cookies

Mix the cottage cheese with 1 tbsp of sugar and a pinch of salt.

Add the melted butter (the quickest way is to melt it in the microwave). Stir to combine.

Add the baking powder and flour, stir with a spoon, then knead the dough by hand into a ball. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Divide the dough into 12 balls and pour the sugar onto a flat plate. Flatten a ball between your palms into a flat round, place it in the sugar, and press down gently.

Fold the round in half with the sugar side in, press it into the sugar again, and press down.

Fold in half once more with the sugar side in (you'll end up with an almost triangular shape). Press into the sugar again.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the shaped ears sugar-side up.

Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 20–25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.

Let the finished cottage cheese cookies cool completely.
