Cookies with currant jam
Description
These cookies with currant jam are baked as a pie and then sliced. That's why this treat has different names—some call it grated pie, others call it Viennese cookies. But what matters most is that it tastes delicious, isn't it? These cookies will turn out delicious—this has been proven over time. You can make the dough thicker by adding more flour, or keep it slightly sticky, as in this recipe. Either way, the result will be the same—very tasty cookies. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.
