Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. This is a very delicious, light, and aromatic cookie. It's made in no time and always a success. There's been a lot written about these cookies or pastries, and recipes vary greatly. I've tried over 10 versions and finally found the most delicious one. These cookies turn out with a crispy crust, tender texture, and wonderful aroma. I recommend everyone try them at least once—you'll immediately understand what I mean. Serve with tea or coffee.
