ELSA'S RYE COOKIE

 

September 7, 2015

SHARE:

Elsa's Rye Cookies, gently spiced with ginger and cinnamon, combines with earthy rye flour to create a bite-sized biscuit easy to serve as a savoury accompaniment. With very little sugar, dab a bit of salty butter or creamy cheese and offer it with a green salad. Or for a slight pick-me-up in the afternoon, these Rye Cookies satisfy without too much sweetness. You'll be delighted by their pleasant and intriguing flavour. Have you ever baked Rye Cookies before? Tell me in the comment section below.
