Interesting cookies
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Preparing the cookies will take some time: first for chilling the dough, then for baking. Let the baked cookies cool before serving. You can use several food colorings. Add a flavor extract to each colored dough ball—for example, raspberry or strawberry extract goes well with red or pink, while mint extract pairs nicely with green. Serve warm or chilled. Ideal with tea.
