Simple cookies Kisses get soft and crispy and can be stored for several weeks, but, as a rule, few people manage to check this, because from the heat, from the heat it spreads from the baking tray in a matter of minutes.

To eat or not to eat, that is the question
A recipe with cottage cheese foundation gives the cookie an unusual taste and softness, and, of course, it benefits more than ordinary cookies. Cottage cheese is calcium, whose properties do not change during heat treatment. It is simply necessary for the child's body, because it helps to strengthen bone tissue, nails, hair. Calcium affects glucose and insulin levels, which means that a person needs him constantly. Cottage cheese contains mineral components that contribute to the production of hemoglobin, so the use of cottage cheese is the prevention of anemia. There is not all children like cottage cheese (yes, what can I say, and many adults); therefore, quietly mixing it into the dough, we manage to fool all the haters' cottage cheese.
Each recipe of cookies (if it is not galetny) necessarily contains sugar. This is bad for the teeth, since we were told from childhood that teeth deteriorate from sugar and something else can stick together. That is why it is not necessary to abuse even such delicious cookies as Kisses. In addition, if you follow the figure, it is also dangerous to lean on him, and then gradually turn your 90-60-90 into 90-70-100!
The average caloric content of any cookie varies from 350 to 450 kcal. (the more the recipe contains fat, the higher the calorie content), Kisses is no exception.
If you are inclined to be overweight, do not turn your hobby into a hobby, otherwise in real life you will have to wait for real kisses for a long time! Alas, the cookie recipe contains flour, and this is not the best ally of a slim figure.
Purchased Kisses, in the recipe of which preservatives and fats harmful to the body may be included, are stored for a couple of weeks longer than homemade ones, but their taste is noticeably inferior to homemade baked goods. So do not be lazy, indulge yourself sometimes homemade goodies!
Cooking delicious pastries is a favorite occupation of every good housewife, unfortunately, not always easy. Cookies "Kisses" with cottage cheese justify the effort spent at the stove. You will not buy such yummy in the store. Kneading dough and shaping cookies will take no more than 30 minutes. In the benefits of cooked cottage cheese pastries, you also will not have any doubts.
The dough for cottage cheese cookies "Kisses" resembles shortbread and is kneaded by the same rules.
How to make cottage cheese cookies "Kisses"
Connect the cottage cheese, egg and grated butter. Mix until smooth with a spoon or blender. The oil should be at room temperature, so we got it out of the fridge in advance.
Add hydrated soda or baking powder. Soda extinguish a tablespoon of vinegar, add to the cottage cheese and butter. If you choose baking powder, take his teaspoon. Baking powder must be mixed with flour before sifting it. Flour must be wheat, the highest grade.
Gradually add flour to the dough. Do not make the dough too tight. From what kind of cottage cheese you took to prepare the dough will depend on how much it takes flour - one and a half or two glasses. To give the dough a taste, add salt on the tip of the knife and vanilla sugar - 1 sachet. You can make it without salt and vanilla sugar, but then the cookies will turn out too bland.
Knead the dough. We do this quickly so that the butter does not melt and the dough does not become sticky, then it will take more flour than normal. We put the finished dough in a plastic bag, and send it in the fridge for 2 hours.
Chilled dough roll out about 3 mm thick. Cut out a round biscuit shape or tea cup. Now we need an incomplete glass of sugar, which is in the recipe. We do not use up all the sugar, its residue can be added to some other baking. Put sugar in a plate and dip cookies on it from one side.
Fold the circle of dough in half, sugar inside. Dip the resulting semicircle of cookies on one side into sugar and fold in half, in envelope. The sugar was inside the biscuits so that the top of the baking turned out to be sweet and ruddy, and we also dunk it in granulated sugar.
On the top of the ready-made cookies, we slightly roll over the rolling pin so that it becomes smoother and a little thinner. We spread on the greased baking sheet our "Kisses". Put cookies in a hot oven.
We bake 20 minutes at 200 degrees. During baking, the cookies will rise and become as if puffed inside.
Put the ready-made biscuits from the Kisses curd on the dish and serve with tea. It is tasty in a hot and cold form, does not lose its freshness for a long time, but you will most likely not be able to check it. Baking is eaten very quickly. Enjoy your tea!
The quality and taste of the finished dish depends on the raw materials that were used for the recipe. If you are an experienced hostess, you can not read the advice on the selection of products, you have done this more than once.
- Use previously tested flour, with good gluten, packaged in packs, one that is sold by weight is better not to buy.
- If you decide to add baking powder instead of baking soda with vinegar, mix it with flour before sifting it. Otherwise, the citric acid particles from the baking powder may give the baking a sour taste.
- Cottage cheese is better to choose medium fat, not too wet. If it is lumpy, grind it to a uniform consistency with a sieve or blender.
- Do not try to save money by replacing butter in the recipe with margarine, which is harmful to health. This will make the baking taste worse.
