It is almost impossible to imagine a tea party without aromatic pastries. Naturally, the most delicious option is homemade products prepared with your own hands with love and care.
Ingredients
For 30 pieces:
- 250 g cottage cheese;
- 1 large egg;
- 200 g sugar (1 glass);
- 6 tablespoons of milk;
- 8 tablespoons of vegetable oil (refined sunflower or olive);
- 10 g baking powder;
- 450-470 g of flour (3 glasses of 250 g or a little more);
- A pinch of salt;
- ¼ teaspoon vanillin or 2 packets of vanilla sugar.
In addition to vanilla, you can add other spices to the dough that you like: cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, turmeric, ground nutmeg or cloves...
How to bake:
Knead the curd dough. Separate the yolk from the white; if the egg is fresh, leave the white for glaze, and grind the yolk with sugar.
Add cottage cheese to the dough.
Add vegetable oil...
And lukewarm milk.
Beat everything with a mixer until smooth. There are still grains of cottage cheese, but if you want a more homogeneous dough, you can rub the cottage cheese through a colander. I just crumbled it with my hands - it’s faster, and I like the consistency of the dough with grains of cottage cheese.
Now sift the flour combined with baking powder into the dough: not all at once, but gradually, since more or less flour may be needed depending on its moisture content and fineness of grinding. The original recipe had 500 g, I had about 450-460 g. Salt, add vanillin.
Knead the soft dough, wrap it in a food bag and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Sprinkle a baking sheet with flour or cover it with parchment and grease the paper with sunflower oil. Preheat the oven to 170-180C.
We take out the dough, place it on a table sprinkled with flour, and roll it out into a 1 cm thick cake. Using a glass or cookie cutters, cut out gingerbread cookies.
At this stage, it’s great to invite children to help you - it will be very interesting to make gingerbread cookies not only round, but in a variety of ways: in the form of stars, flowers, hearts. I rolled out the first batch thinner than 0.7-1 cm, and cut it out with a glass, and the gingerbread cookies turned out more like cottage cheese cookies.
And we rolled out the second one thicker, 1-1.5 cm, and cut it out with smaller molds. It turned out much like gingerbread: plump and fluffy!
Place the gingerbread cookies on a baking sheet, leaving a couple of centimeters between them, and put them in the oven.
Bake over medium heat until the gingerbreads have risen, become taller and lightly browned and golden. For different ovens, baking time and temperature will vary, approximately 20-25 minutes at 170-180C. I was a little gape, and the bottom of the first batch got a little tanned. To prevent this from happening, when the bottom is already starting to burn and the top is still pale, place a frying pan with water on the bottom of the oven, and raise the baking sheet with gingerbread cookies higher, not in the middle of the oven, but a little closer to its top. To make the gingerbread cookies soft, with a thin, slightly crispy crust, you can sprinkle the bottom of the oven with water and create steam, as when baking bread.
Remove the finished gingerbread cookies from the baking sheet and wait until they cool, and in the meantime prepare the glaze for them.
The glaze can be made with sugar - from powdered sugar and lemon (orange) juice, or protein - from powder and egg white. But only if you are confident in the freshness and quality of the eggs, and be sure to wash the shells very thoroughly with soap.
Glaze the cooled gingerbread cookies and leave them to dry for 20-30 minutes. My kids and I couldn’t resist trying some more unglazed gingerbread:) My son stole half of a still warm gingerbread (which I had not eaten when I took a sample so I could know what to write about their taste) and said that he really liked the gingerbread! And my daughter took a bite and said something was not very good, too soft! And I liked them :) They were soft inside (there were doubts that the curd dough was not baked or there was not enough baking powder, but they were baked), and on top there was such a delicate crust. Tasty! Try it and form your own opinion about curd gingerbread cookies :)

How to cook “Cottage cheese gingerbread”
Grind the yolk with sugar and vanilla until white. Add cottage cheese, vegetable oil, baking powder and milk to the resulting mass. Using a mixer, beat all ingredients into a smooth paste. At the end, add the sifted flour and knead a fairly elastic dough. Roll it into a ball and place it in the refrigerator under cling film for an hour.
Set the oven to one hundred and eighty degrees. While it is heating, roll out the dough from the refrigerator into a layer about one centimeter thick. Then, using different molds, cut out future gingerbread cookies.
Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Place the resulting gingerbread dough on it. Be sure to leave a little space between them, as during the baking process the gingerbread cookies increase in size and can stick together.
Bake the gingerbread cookies for twenty minutes until they are golden brown.
Prepare the glaze in which you will dip the gingerbread cookies. It's not difficult at all, just beat the egg whites with powdered sugar until stiff foam. Then place the gingerbread cookies in a bowl with icing and roll them thoroughly in it.
Place coated gingerbread cookies on paper towels or baking parchment to allow the glaze to harden. You can use the parchment on which you baked the gingerbread cookies as a “bedding”. After ten minutes, the glaze will harden and the gingerbread cookies can be placed in the basket.

Cooking process
If you haven’t found your gingerbread recipe yet, or can’t decide which one to choose, or you can’t make them at all, this recipe is for you! These are the most delicious and tender gingerbreads. Try them and I think you will really like them! Thanks for the recipe to Sveta Antonopoulo.
So, let's take these products.
Cottage cheese should be exactly like this, that is, it is a curd mass. Let's mix all the products. Baking powder can be replaced with 1 teaspoon of slaked soda. It may take less flour, so sprinkle it in parts. Let's knead the dough, it should not stick to your hands.
Cover the dough with a lid and leave it on the table for 30 minutes; mine took longer. Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll out a thick layer, about 2 cm thick. And squeeze out small mugs with a glass.
Place the curd preparations for gingerbread on a sheet. Place them at a distance from each other. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, bake at 180 degrees.
It turns out we have about two sheets of cottage cheese gingerbread. While the gingerbread cookies are baking, make the glaze. Beat the egg whites for 5 minutes and add powdered sugar. You can add less than what I have in the ingredients if you don’t like very sweet baked goods.
We lay out the hot gingerbread cookies and immediately cover them with glaze using a brush; you can also use the method of dipping the gingerbread cookies in the glaze. Let the gingerbread cookies cool.
Let sit until the glaze hardens. These are the most delicious gingerbreads!
