Goats
Description
There are countless recipes for making this cookie today, but originally there was only one, consisting of honey, butter, and flour. Some believe the cookie itself is the most important, emphasizing the significance of how the dough is prepared, while others insist that decoration is key, claiming that the design you draw on the cookie will symbolize the coming year for you. That's why people approached decorating these cookies with special care. Today I'm offering you my tried-and-true recipe. Serve with tea or coffee.
