Triangle Cookies

Cookinero 22 February 2025

Triangle-shaped cookies are also called "Envelopes" because of the old way of folding letters. The recipe for "Triangles" cookies is incredibly simple and is ideal for beginner cooks. Due to the fact that they are made from cottage cheese, the cookies acquire an unusual layered structure, and the aroma when baked in the oven spreads throughout the house, returning you to childhood again.

How to cook Triangle Cookies

Step 1

Triangle Cookies

In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, a pinch of salt and egg. Knead until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Then add softened butter to the cottage cheese and mix.

Now sift flour and baking powder into the curd mixture through a sieve. This is necessary so that the flour is saturated with oxygen and the dough rises easily.

Step 4

Knead the curd dough. As soon as it becomes slightly dense, roll it into a ball. Now put the resulting ball in the refrigerator for about an hour. This will give it more elasticity.

Step 5

After an hour, take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it sit for 10 minutes until it reaches room temperature. After that, sprinkle the table with flour and start rolling out the dough. The dough should be about 2 cm thick.

Now that the dough is ready, cut out circles of 9-10 cm in diameter. The triangle cookies are served with sugar, so dip one side of each circle in a saucer of sugar and fold it in half so that the sugar side is inside. Then dip one side in sugar again and fold it again with the sugar side inside. The result should be quarters folded in half.

Dip the quarters of the dough in sugar for the third and final time and place them on a baking sheet previously covered with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown. When the cookies are ready, place them on a plate and let them cool.

Triangle Cookies - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use ricotta cheese or softened cream cheese as a substitute for cottage cheese, though the texture may vary slightly. Make sure to blend it well for a smooth consistency.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months.
Yes, replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure your baking powder is gluten-free. The texture might be slightly different, but it will still work.
Absolutely! You can reduce or skip the sugar dipping step, or swap it with a sugar-free sweetener like erythritol for a lower-carb option.
Thaw frozen cookies at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then warm them in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
Yes, replace the cottage cheese with almond or soy-based cream cheese and use a dairy-free butter substitute. Adjust consistency as needed.
Chilling the dough enhances elasticity, making it easier to roll out and preventing the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
Yes, you can use different shapes, but ensure they’re large enough to fold into quarters. Triangles or squares also work well for this folding technique.
These cookies pair well with tea or coffee. For extra indulgence, drizzle with melted chocolate or serve with a side of fruit jam.
Aim for about 2 cm thickness to ensure the cookies hold their shape when folded and baked. Too thin, and they may become brittle.
