Ingredients
- 2 sticks PLUS 5 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups farmer cheese or ricotta
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 4-5 tablespoons powdered sugar
For the filling:
- 13 ounces Fruit Jam I used apricot jam and blackcurrant- you can use strawberry, raspberry, plums, apple
- ¼ cup Chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- Mix the soft butter, farmer cheese, flour, pinch of salt, and sugar to obtain a dough.
- Wrap in plastic foil and place the dough in the refrigerator to chill for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Remove the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it over a floured surface, giving it a round shape, about 13 inches big.
- Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough. The idea is to have triangles of dough that will be filled with jam and then rolled. Cut about 16 triangles.
- Put a dollop of jam and a small piece of walnut(optional) on the bottom of one of the triangles.
- Loosely roll-up.
- Place the cookie on a baking tray covered with parchment paper.
- Continue doing this with all your triangles until done.
- Bake them at 350F for about 13-15 mins or until golden brown.
- Remove them from the tray and place them on a cooling rack.
- Prepare a plate or a bowl with powdered sugar and roll the cookies in it to cover.
