Rye flour cookies are a delicious and aromatic treat rooted in European baking traditions. The use of rye flour gives it a unique, slightly nutty flavor and rich texture. This recipe combines the tenderness of butter, the softness of sour cream, and the sweetness of sugar to create a harmony of flavors. The cookies are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with fork patterns making them particularly appealing. Perfect for morning tea or coffee, they also pair wonderfully with jam or honey. European housewives often prepared such treats for family celebrations, enjoying their cozy taste.
