cookies
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Since the cookies are made without eggs, their texture is crumbly rather than chewy. You can use different nuts: almonds, pecans, or even walnuts. Try all the variations and choose your favorite. I recommend toasting the nuts so you get not only their flavor but also a rich aroma. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
