Cookies "Ears" - one of the most famous homemade cookies. However, under one name hides several completely different dishes. In addition to their unifying names, they have individual names: “Goose feet” or “Triangles”, “Layered ears”, “Bear ears” or “Callas” or “Pig ears”, and, for a sweet cookie, “Aman’s ears” interesting in embodiment. In the material we will tell about the methods of preparing all these goodies.

Classic cookies “Ears” from cottage cheese

The “Ears” cookies are often called “Goose paws” or “Triangles” cookies. But in any of the three options, a simple, easy-to-cook dainty is obtained. The main conditions are the combination in one dish of a soft structure and a crisp with sugar sprinkles.

Prepare the following ingredients for kneading the cookie dough:

  • 450 g of cottage cheese;
  • 225 g butter or spread;
  • 345 g of flour;
  • 3.5 g of baking powder;
  • a bag of vanillin or 10 g of vanilla sugar;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • sugar for baking cookies.

Approximate calorie content of the finished dish: 350 kcal.

Total cooking time: 80 minutes.

Let's proceed to the preparation of the dough for the cottage cheese cookies “Ears”:

  1. Cottage cheese and butter - triturated with a fork until a homogeneous creamy mass. Which cottage cheese to choose? Frankly, there are no exact indications of the fat content of the product. However, it should be borne in mind that the greater the fat content of the cottage cheese, the stronger the calorie content of the dish increases. And vice versa - low-fat cottage cheese brings cookies closer to dietary dishes.
  2. All loose products, everything except sugar, are combined in a separate bowl. Is the amount of flour indicated in the ingredient composition accurate? It is rather difficult to answer this question: it all depends on the flour that is available. Most often, recipes are served based on the mass of durum wheat flour.Therefore, for each brand and manufacturer will have its own mass fraction of flour in each recipe. Focus on feelings and everything will work out.
  3. Mix the butter-curd and bulk mixture. We don’t tighten it - after all, oil tends to flow, which means that more flour may be required.
  4. It should be slightly sticky and very soft dough. So that it rolls well and does not stick to the surface, sprinkle the table with flour. We also pre-divide the dough into 2 or 3 parts - this will facilitate the rolling process. In this case, the parts that are not involved in the process are stored in the refrigerator.
  5. From a rolled dough sheet with a thickness of not more than 0.5 cm, cut out future cookies with a mug or a special round shape.
  6. You may have noticed that sugar has disappeared from the recipe. This is not entirely true: we will use it to sprinkle dough circles. It is convenient to do this by simply pouring sugar into a plate and dropping bread circles of dough on each side, gradually folding in half to form a triangle.
  7. The resulting quarters are spread on a sheet of parchment and sent to the oven for 10-20 minutes at a temperature of 180 ° C.

Cookies Ears from cottage cheese are very tasty. It will become an integral part of every family meal for drinking tea.
