How to make Piquant Cheese Cookies
Sitf the flour, make a hollow in the middle, add cottage/crud cheese crumbled by fork, then add sliced baking fat (suppose to be firm just from a fridge)
mix everything together and knead it till you get smooth dough, shape it into ball and place in fridge for 30 minutes or longer
take out dough from a fridge, cut a half of it and roll it out for 3-4 mm, use a glass to cut out round pieces
scramble one egg with 2 spoons of water in separate bowl
take one round piece of dough, deep front of it first in egg and then in hard cheese, fold it in half, you get moon shape
deep front of the moon in egg again and garnish with seeds of your choice
put ready cookie on the baking tray
repeat the procedure with the rest of the dough
when you fill in the whole baking tray, put it into preheated oven (about 180 degrees, I use the heating from bottom and above with air circulation)
it takes about 10 min to bake them, take the tray out when the cookies are golden brown
