Cookies
Description
To make the squares on the cookies as perfectly even as possible, use a sharp knife and work only with very cold dough. If you feel that the dough has warmed up, put it back in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. By using this secret, you will get not only tasty cookies but also beautiful ones. They can be served with tea or coffee.
