Ingredients

• 400 g cottage cheese;
• 3 chicken eggs;
• 150 g sugar;
• 400 g wheat flour;
• 1 teaspoon baking soda;
• salt;

Step-by-step recipe

1. Whisk eggs with sugar until a fluffy, light mixture forms, add cottage cheese, baking soda, salt, and vanillin, and whisk again.
2. Gradually add the sifted flour. Adjust according to the dough's consistency – it should form a ball but still be slightly sticky to the hands.
