Cookies
Description
Ideally suited for tea and coffee. This cookie can be baked with nettles of any maturity. Young nettles are enough to pour boiling water over and let stand for 10 minutes, whereas the coarser leaves need to be boiled for about 6–8 minutes. Unlike spinach, it does not overcook and does not lose its color. After cooking, no specific taste or smell remains. And if you don’t know what’s in the dough, no one will guess.
