Sochni with Cottage Cheese

Sochni are cookies made from soft sour cream dough with a condensed-milk cottage cheese filling, folded in half and baked until golden. They bake for 20-25 minutes at 180°C, and the batch is large enough for the whole family. I recommend serving them with tea - enjoy!

Ingredients

  

For the dough

• 400 g flour
• 80 g butter melted
• 100 g sugar
• 100 g sour cream
• 1 egg
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 0.5 ml lemon essence

For the filling

• 300 g cottage cheese

• 1 egg yolk for glazing

Method

 

1. Melt the butter, combine with the sugar and mix. Add the egg, sour cream and baking soda, and mix again.
2. Sift in the flour, add the lemon essence and knead the dough.
   
3. For the filling, mix the cottage cheese with the condensed milk.
4. Roll out the dough and cut circles about 8 cm across. Place a slightly rounded tablespoon of the cottage cheese filling in the center of each.
   
5. Transfer the pieces to a baking sheet, folding each one in half, and brush the tops with egg yolk.
   
6. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20-25 minutes.
   
7. Let the finished sochni cool. Enjoy!
   

Tips

• It's easiest to cut circles about 8 cm across - each one takes a slightly rounded tablespoon of cottage cheese.
• Fold the sochni in half without sealing the edges: the filling should stay visible.
• An egg yolk wash gives them a beautiful golden shine.
