Festive Cookies for March 8th
Heartfelt congratulations to all the ladies on this wonderful spring day! I suggest preparing special cookies for this holiday. They turn out very tasty and aromatic! If desired, almonds can be replaced with any other nuts. For decoration, icing, melted chocolate or meringue cream (beat 2 egg whites with 150 g sugar) will work, as I did.
