Directions
These extra-buttery, crispy-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-middle wonderfully addictive cookies are similar to the classic benne wafer, only larger. Serve them with tea or creamy coffee, or try them as sandwiches with a little of your favorite ice cream as filler (the Black Sesame Seed and Ginger Ice Cream, page 36, is a natural choice) for a yummy summer treat. Store in an airtight container, at room temperature, for three days.
