Finnish Gingerbread Cookies
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. To make these cookies, you can use either runny honey or a thicker one. The butter should be of excellent quality. You can shape the cookies however you like; I made mine in the form of stars. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
