Cheese cookies with paprika - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute cottage cheese with another type of cheese in this recipe?

Yes, you can replace cottage cheese with ricotta or cream cheese for a similar texture. Just ensure the cheese is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the dough.

How long can I store these cheese cookies, and what's the best way to keep them fresh?

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months.

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

Absolutely! Substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Add 1/2 tsp xanthan gum if your blend doesn't include it to help bind the dough.

What can I use instead of paprika for flavor variation?

Try smoked paprika for a deeper flavor, or use chili powder, garlic powder, or dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for a different taste profile.

How can I make these cookies vegan?

Replace butter with vegan butter or coconut oil, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) instead of egg yolk, and opt for dairy-free cheese.

Can I make these cookies ahead and freeze the dough?

Yes! Prepare the dough, shape it into a log or disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before rolling and baking.

What's the best way to serve these cheese cookies?

Serve them warm as an appetizer with dips like hummus or tzatziki, or pair with soup or salad. They're also great as a snack with wine or beer.

My cookies turned out too thick. How can I adjust the thickness?

Roll the dough thinner than 0.5 cm for crispier cookies, or reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes if you prefer a softer texture. Ensure even rolling for consistent results.

Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried coriander?

Yes, substitute 1 tablespoon fresh coriander for every 1 teaspoon dried. Pat the herbs dry before adding to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
