Shortbread cookies with chocolate and sesame
Description
Perfect for tea and coffee. The cookies are no harder to prepare than a regular pie, yet they look very appetizing and original. I've made these cookies before, but wasn't quite satisfied with the result. This time, I decided to add a little twist—just a few drops of cognac. These cookies are delicious served with hot coffee or chocolate. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.
