Cottage cheese and lemon biscuits

Cookies or even a small cupcake If you have a little bit of everything left in your kitchen - one egg, a handful of flour, a few spoonfuls of sugar, half a pack of half-dried cottage cheese and squeezed lemon, then from this meager set of products you can make an excellent dessert for tea or coffee. Air cottage cheese-lemon biscuits, which are more like tender small buns, are prepared in just half an hour. You can make it even for breakfast. Having eaten literally two or three of these balls and having washed them down with a glass of milk, you can not remember eating until lunch. Curd pastry is very popular in many countries, and in Russian cuisine it occupies a special place. But, if our grandmothers use cottage cheese more often as fillings for pies and shaneshki, then the modern housewives mix the dough with it. This saves time and allows you to experiment, baking all kinds of cakes, casseroles, cookies with different fillings, starting with traditional raisins and ending with candied fruits, nuts, fruits or zest, as in the case of our cottage cheese and lemon biscuits. Citrus scent increases both appetite and mood, giving the bake a fresh flavor. And if you decorate this cookie with white or chocolate glaze, then it is quite possible to submit it to the festive table.
