Molded cookies

Description

I think many of you have such molds (ceramic, metal, silicone, etc.), and surely they are gathering dust somewhere on a shelf. With their help, you can quickly and easily make delicious cookies that go perfectly with tea or coffee. You don't need to spend a lot of time on them—just prepare the dough and fill the molds. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
