They are super quick to make. You don’t need special kitchen equipment: just a bowl and a hand whisk, and within 30 minutes, you prepare, bake, and eat them! They’re good on their own, but also great dipped in milk.

In short, with just one dough, you can create many types of cookies! I discovered this recipe many years ago in an old cooking book, and since then, I haven’t left it.
