Ishler taler is an exquisite European cookie enveloped in the aroma of nuts, cinnamon, and cloves. Its roots trace back to ancient Austrian and German recipes that valued the balance of crispy texture and rich flavor. The delicate shortcrust pastry infused with the tenderness of butter and citrus freshness of lemon zest creates a base for true gastronomic pleasure. After baking, it is topped with a layer of strawberry jam that adds sweetness and a hint of tartness before being dipped in melted dark chocolate that enhances the flavor and adds noble notes. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of roasted hazelnuts creating a delightful contrast of textures. These little masterpieces are perfect for cozy tea time and can adorn any festive table with their exquisite taste and refined appearance.
