These spritz cookies with farmers cheese have a special texture. They taste heavenly moist and light on the inside. On the outside, they are covered with a thin, crispy crust. You can find a detailed recipe for the tvorog spritz cookies with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
Spritz cookies with farmers cheese
The dough for these spritz cookies, just like for the farmer’s cheese pryaniki and the tvorog korzhiki, is made with farmers cheese. This gives them a heavenly moist and fluffy consistency after baking.
I used tvorog in the recipe. You can also use cottage cheese if you prefer. If it contains any excess liquid, be sure to drain it thoroughly.
With an unusual secret ingredient
It’s not just the farmers cheese that gives these cookies their unique texture. They also contain an unusual secret ingredient: mayonnaise. It makes the spritz cookies taste incredibly light and fluffy.
With a piping bag or meat grinder
I made the cookies in strips using a piping bag and a large open star nozzle. Alternatively, you can pipe them into circles, just like the vegan spritz cookies. A different nozzle is also suitable for this, as well as for the spritz cookies with nuts.
You can also make the cookies using a meat grinder and a special attachment. In this case, make sure to chill the dough thoroughly beforehand.
