Step 4

Cottage cheese cookies with cardamom - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

While all-purpose flour works best for this recipe, you can experiment with other types. If using whole wheat flour, you might need to add a bit more liquid to achieve the right dough consistency. Gluten-free blends can also be used, but be sure to follow the blend's instructions for best results.
Yes, you can substitute ground cardamom for the cardamom seeds. A good starting point would be 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom, but adjust to your preference.
Store the completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for 3-4 days.
Yes, you can freeze the baked cookies. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
If you don't have vanilla sugar, you can substitute it with regular granulated sugar and a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add the vanilla extract when you are mixing the cottage cheese into the flour base.
You can experiment with other granulated sweeteners like coconut sugar or erythritol. Keep in mind that this may slightly affect the texture and taste of the cookies.
These cookies are delicious on their own with tea or coffee. They also pair well with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before rolling it out to soften it slightly.
