I do not know about you, but I have always problem. When I cook for dinner soup, what to serve beside.
These cookies are simple to bake and pay attention: there no spices and seasonings in this dough. So, you can bake and serve them as savoury or sweet, as you like.

They look like little biscuits that you might find in the southern states of the USA. Quark is hard to find where I live. Would Greek yogurt work?

I do not know, But let me know:) I believe the problem is related to the thickness of the dough? But to add more flour?

Ok. I drained Greek yogurt until it was quite thick. The dough was very soft and sticky. Is the flour measurement correct at 200ml? It seemed as though it could have used more flour. I will take photos and post on my blog when done. Using poppy seed filling for the sweet, and garlic butter for savory. It certainly smells good in the kitchen!

Estonian quark is quite dry. Using yoghurt it is very possible you need more flour
And as you know , amount of flour is depending on moisture, day, climate….

I read recently that USA and European butter are different. Estonian butter is 82% milk fat? It also influences (if butters are different)

Yes, I have that problem too, what to serve with soup for dinner. These look like an excellent solution. I will have to try them! And I’d better follow your recipe for quark, too, since I’ve never seen it in stores here (at first I thought there would be a physics joke or something, having never heard of quark as anything other than an anatomic particle)

What an unusual recipe! Great idea! And I really love caraway addition! Thanks for sharing x ps. I can’t get quark where I am right now, can I replace it with cream cheese or cottage cheese maybe? If so in what proportions?

I believe that cream cheese is good subsitude. But estonian quark is quite dry. Probably you need more flour to absorbe moisture. Let me know how did succseed 🙂
