Cottage Cheese Pufflets
The title of this week’s Tuesday’s with Dorie recipe had me intrigued and a little confused. I just couldn’t imagine what these would be like. Why cottage cheese?
If you read the previous post, you know I am a big fan of pastry wrapped around a filling, but these curious little cookies let me down. From Dories introduction to the recipe they clearly worked for her as she describes them as delicate little puffs. I found the dough to be really difficult to work with because it was so soft and sticky. Once baked, they were more greasy than puffy. The quince apple jam I used worked great as a filling, but I actually enjoyed eating the leftover cottage cheese more than I enjoyed the cookies. You can’t win them all.
Jacque of Daisy Lane Cakes selected the recipe for the week and you can find it posted on her blog if you want to give it a try and see if you have a result more like the description of the cookies Dorie gives.

They still look beautiful, Carol!
I didn’t bother with the dough once I heard from the forum that it was a pain in the butt. And it wasn’t worth it! Blah.
How have you been? I am getting your newsletters and cheering for you!
You are awesome.

Yes, this recipe was a bit painful. I guess the good thing is that we can check it off the list, LOL.
Thanks for baking along this week
