Comment préparer Czech Pastry Cottage Cheese Kolacky

Let 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter soften to room temperature in a bowl.
Once softened, thoroughly mix the butter with 16 ounces (2 cups) of creamy cottage cheese until well combined.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Mix well.
Gradually add 4-5 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing by hand until a soft, pliable dough forms. The dough should resemble pie dough in consistency.
Wrap the dough tightly in wax paper and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 3 hours).
Divide the chilled dough into 3 equal parts.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness.
Use a 2-inch juice glass or cookie cutter to cut out circles.
Gently press your thumb into the center of each circle to create a well.
Fill each well with approximately 1 teaspoon of apricot jam (or your preferred filling – cottage cheese, prune, poppyseed, etc.).
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching to seal.
Place the kolacky on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
