Cookies
Description
Homemade treats for tea. "Sweet bread." That's what this baked good is called in translation. You can buy this cookie at the store, but I prefer to make it myself. It's a round-shaped cookie with a crispy crust, yet very tender inside. It melts in your mouth. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

4. I knead a soft and elastic dough, and by no means overwork it with flour.

6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until a light yellow crust forms, making sure not to over-brown it; otherwise, instead of airy cookies, you'll get dry crackers (approximately 7–12 minutes).
