Spicy cookies 'Stars' are a fragrant treat infused with the warmth of Russian cuisine. Its history dates back to ancient traditions when the house was filled with the scent of spices and honey in winter. Crispy stars embody the delicate sweetness of honey, the tenderness of butter, and the richness of spices—cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and nutmeg. This dessert is perfect for cozy family evenings or festive tea parties. Its light spiciness and golden crust make the cookies especially appealing. They pair wonderfully with hot beverages, whether it's lemon tea or milk coffee. It's easy to prepare: the dough is mixed, chilled, rolled out, and baked in just a few minutes. This treat not only delights the taste but also fills the home with the magical aroma of winter holidays.
