Rice cookies with cherries

20 minutes

Rice cookies with cherries are a refined combination of tenderness and sweet sourness. This recipe has roots in Italian cuisine, where the art of creating exquisite desserts is valued alongside traditional pasta. The base of the cookie is rice, giving it an unusual airy texture, while cherries add bright fruity notes and pleasant juiciness. Thanks to vanilla sugar, the dough acquires a warm, sweet-spicy aroma. The cookies are perfect for morning tea or a cozy evening with coffee, and their lightness makes them an excellent dessert even after a hearty dinner. The key is patience to wait for them to cool before serving, as this moment reveals the full depth of flavor.
