Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 220°C. Grease a baking sheet with butter.
Fry the bacon in a shallow frying pan over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels to absorb excess fat, then chop the bacon into small cubes. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat for the batter.

In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chopped bacon, and chopped chives. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles peas.

Stir in the cheese, add kefir and melted fat, mix until the dough becomes loose.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Form the dough into a ball and knead 3-5 times, pressing with the palm of your hand (do not knead the dough for too long, otherwise the cookies will be tough).

Roll out the dough into a round layer about 1.5 cm thick, then use a glass sprinkled with flour to press out cookies with a diameter of 5 cm.

Re-roll the remaining dough and press out the cookies.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top with melted butter.

Bake the cheese and bacon cookies until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
