Kvass Cookies
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The dough made with kvass will be pliable and soft, and it's easy to knead. The cookies turn out tasty and crumbly. For flavor, you can add not only ginger. Cinnamon or vanilla work well; choose according to your taste. Any kind of bran can be used; in this recipe it's hemp bran, which makes the dough dark, but you can use wheat or oat bran. It can be served with tea or coffee.
