Cookies for molds
Description
Homemade treats for tea. You can make a simple version by cutting the dough with suitable cookie cutters, or place a small amount of filling inside and bake. I prepare cookies with a custard filling, but sweetened condensed milk works perfectly as an alternative. Optionally, add walnuts or coconut flakes to the dough or filling. Decorate the finished cookies with powdered sugar and serve cooled or slightly warm.
