How to Make Cottage Cheese Pocket Tarts Czech

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 cup cottage cheese and blend very well until smooth.
  4. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms. Chill the dough thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin sheet (about 1/8 inch thick). Cut into 2-inch squares.
  6. Place 1 teaspoon of strawberry preserves in the center of each square.
  7. Fold each square in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly together with the tines of a fork to seal.
  8. Place the tarts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!
