To prepare these delicious cookies, start by taking the butter out of the freezer and grating it on a cheese grater directly into a large bowl. This step will allow the butter to integrate more easily into the dough, giving it a fluffy texture. After you have grated all the butter, add the very dry cottage cheese and the flour. It is essential that the cheese is well drained to avoid excessive moisture in the dough. If you want to enhance the flavor of the cookies, now is the time to add freshly grated lemon zest or, if you prefer vanilla, make sure you have left a vanilla bean in a jar of sugar a few days before. This will enrich the sugar with an intense vanilla flavor, giving a special taste to the cookies. Start kneading the dough with your palms, obtaining a crumbly composition. Add the two egg yolks, mixing until slightly homogenized. Then, start adding cold water, one tablespoon at a time. It is important to keep in mind that sometimes you may only need two tablespoons of water, depending on the type of flour used. Continue kneading until the dough becomes homogeneous, but not very well mixed; small pieces of butter should remain. These will melt during baking, creating that delicious and layered texture. After you finish kneading, wrap the dough in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, and place it in the refrigerator for an hour. I usually prefer to prepare the dough in the evening and let it chill overnight for optimal results. After the dough has chilled, take it out of the refrigerator and roll out a thin sheet of about 2 mm, using a pasta machine or a rolling pin. Make sure to work with smaller portions of dough, keeping the rest in the refrigerator to avoid warming it. Cut circles from the sheet, and as you form them, roll them in the sugar placed in a deep plate. This will add a sweet and crunchy note to the cookies. To stick the sugar and shape the cookies, take a circle of dough, place it on the sugar, and gently press to adhere it to the dough. Then, lift it and fold it in half, with the sugar inside, forming a crescent. Continue to fold the crescent in half, so that you get a quarter circle. Finally, roll the outer part in sugar and place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake them in a preheated oven at 190°C until they become golden and fragrant. Once out of the oven, the cookies are delicious both warm and cold, making them a perfect choice for a snack or a savory dessert. These delicious treats will surely bring smiles to the faces of those who taste them!
