Airy honey cookies
Description
Perfect for tea and coffee. Be sure to chill the milk and butter beforehand for the dough—this way it will absorb less flour and become lighter and fluffier! Also, prepare two cookie cutters of any shape. Why two? One larger and one smaller, to make holes in the cookies. The cookies will expand significantly during baking, so keep this in mind when placing them on the parchment paper. Now, take a look:
