The cookies turn out crispy and crumbly with a pleasant caramel note, while butter gives them a tender texture. They pair perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee and can also be an original addition to the dessert table. This simple yet unusual recipe demonstrates how unexpected ingredients can create remarkable gastronomic discoveries.
