Crispy Cookies

Crispy cookies are a classic European treat that embodies the harmony of textures and flavors. Its history begins in ancient culinary traditions where the combination of flour, butter, and sugar served as the basis for creating simple yet refined desserts. The shortcrust pastry, airy and delicate, hides a sweet raspberry jam filling inside that develops a rich aroma and softness when baked. The light tartness of raspberries perfectly balances the sweetness of the dough, while poppy seeds or sesame add an exquisite touch to the baked goods. These cookies are perfect for cozy tea times, offering warmth and comfort with every crunchy bite. They can be served as a standalone dessert or alongside a hot beverage to enjoy the interplay of textures and flavors.
