Preparation:
If butter is room temperature, then just mush it together with all of the ingredients. If out of the fridge, you can grade it first into the flour.
Add in salt. Please be careful with the salt. If you are using unsalted butter, you will need 1 teaspoon but if you are using salted butter, you'll need to reduce salt. Add in the cottage cheese. You'll get a nice soft dough.
Roll out to 1.5 cm sheets and cut into shapes with small cookie cutter
Put on a cookie sheet lined with cooking paper and cover with plastic and leave in the fridge overnight.
When ready to cook, prepare egg yolk glaze by separating the yolk from the white and mixing it with a teaspoon of cold water.
Remove plastic. Glaze puffs with the egg yolk glaze. Sprinkle sesame seeds.
Cook at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until they are golden brown
