Gusinye Lapki: Homemade Cookies With An Imperial And Soviet Pedigree
  1. First, properly mix tvorog and room-temperature butter with a fork. You’ll get a nice and smooth mixture.

  2. In a clean bowl sift the flour with baking powder to enrich with air, which makes the cookies fluffier. Now, add the flour into the mixture until you have a dense and at the same time soft dough. Then tightly enclose it in cling wrap and put in the fridge for an hour or two. The dough should be cold and rather firm so it’s easy to work with.

  3. Generously dust your cooking area with flour and start rolling the dough. You should get a 5mm layer. Next, take a small round cooking mold (about 7cm in diameter) and cut many circles. Don't worry if there is no appropriate form in your kitchen: you can easily make circles with any round glass border.

  4. The next step is the most important: form cookies from circles. Take a circle and dip one side in sugar. Fold the circle in half to get a semicircle: the sugar side should be inside. Now dip one side of your semicircle in sugar, and again fold your semicircle in half with the sugar inside. Finally you have a kind of a quarter-circle; dip one side in sugar for the last time and put on a baking tray covered with baking paper.

  5. Bake for about 30 min (180 °C) until they brown a bit. Finally you have gusinye lapki: soft, fluffy and incredibly delicious.
