Directions: |
Directions:Grate the chilled butter on a box grater.
Add the farmer's cheese and flour. Use your hands to quickly mix the ingredients together. It will be a very dry and crumbly texture.
Add the egg yolks and water. Mix the dough and knead on the counter until it comes together.
Form the dough into a disk and wrap it up in aluminum foil. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Preheat the oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Break off part of the dough and roll out pretty thinly on a well-floured surface. Keep the rest of the dough refrigerated when you're not using it.
Use a biscuit cutter (about 3 inches), an overturned cup or glass (preferably with thin edges) or anything else that is round and will be able to cut through the dough and press out as many circles from the dough as possible.
Save the scraps, scrunch them into a little ball and refrigerate until it's firm again.
Put the sugar into a bowl and press one side of the circle of dough into the sugar.
Fold it in half to form a half-moon shape. Press one side into the sugar again, fold it in half and press one of the sides in the sugar.
Repeat with the rest of the dough. Place the cookies sugar-side-up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until the cookies are puffed and golden. |
