Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold
  • 1 cup full-fat small curd cottage cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Nutella for filling

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, pour the flour. Cut the butter into small cubes, add to the flour, and use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour. Keep going until the largest butter lumps are the size of small peas.
  • Add in the cottage cheese and heavy cream, and use a spoon to combine. Knead lightly with your hands {dough will be a little sticky}, then pat the dough into a disc and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least two hours.
  • When ready to make the cookies, preheat the oven to 425F.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface, and place the chilled dough on top. Knead the dough until it is no longer sticky, then roll it out to ⅛ inch thickness.
  • Use a lightly floured round cookie cutter to cut 2" cookies.
  • Spoon a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each, then wet the edges with some water and fold in half. Press down the edges with your fingertips, and transfer cookie to a lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
