The 'Buttons' cookies with sweet paprika are a refined author’s recipe that combines sweet and spicy notes. Its origin is linked to chefs experimenting to give traditional shortbread cookies an unusual character. The sweet paprika adds a light spiciness that harmonizes with the vanilla sweetness and subtle hints of cinnamon. The dough is soft and tender, and after baking it becomes crispy with an appetizing golden hue. The original button shape gives them a playful look and makes them a wonderful decoration for any tea party. These cookies are perfect with warm drinks—coffee, tea, or cocoa—creating coziness and uplifting the mood. This dessert will be not only a tasty treat but also an interesting detail of culinary creativity.
