You can either write the messages yourself or use ready-made aphorisms on various topics. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Melt the butter in a small saucepan.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Place the flour and powder into a separate container. Mix well.

3. 3

   Step 3

   Next, add the egg whites and melted butter.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. At first, the dough will clump together, but then it will become smooth and uniform.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Then add cinnamon. Optionally, you can add any spices to taste or even food coloring.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Next, form circles about 10 cm in diameter. The circles should be very thin.

7. 7

   Step 7

   Bake at 180 degrees. Since they bake very quickly, don't rush to bake too many circles at once. Also, they harden very fast, so it's reasonable to start with two pieces.

8. 8

   Step 8

   Visually determine the degree of readiness. When the edges of the rounds begin to darken, remove them from the baking sheet, place a paper with a prediction in the center, and fold in half.

9. 9

   Step 9

   While the cookie is still warm, wrap its flat side around the neck of a glass or cup. This will give it a heart shape.
