Ingredients

• 100 g butter
• 200 g cottage cheese 9% fat
• 0.75 cups sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1 yolk
• a pinch of salt
• 0.3 cups frozen pitted cherries
• 0.3 cups chopped chocolate

Directions

1. Defrost the cherries on the lower shelf of the refrigerator, discard them in a colander so that the liquid will be glass. Place on paper towels and dry thoroughly. Chop the chocolate into crumbs with a knife.
2. Heat butter to room temperature and grind with sugar into a homogeneous mass.
3. Add cottage cheese and yolk, mix well. Pour in half of the flour sifted with salt and baking powder. Stir again.
4. Add the cherries and chocolate to the dough, add the remaining sifted flour and stir gently with a spoon. You should have a thick, rather sticky dough.
5. Spread cling film on the table in 2 layers, put the dough on it with a sausage about 4 cm in diameter with wet hands. Wrap it tightly in plastic, fix the ends and place in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.
6. The dough can be kept in the refrigerator until the next day.
7. Cover the baking sheet with parchment. Remove the film from the dough, cut the chilled "sausage" into circles about 1 cm thick. Put the circles on a baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
