Buckwheat Cookies
Tips: The buckwheat flour cookies are excellent for breakfast, to dunk in milk or coffee, but also in a bowl with our favorite yogurt.
The main advice for recipes like these is to pay attention to baking times. About ten minutes or a little more is sufficient: don’t leave them in the oven too long, or they will harden
Storage:
Butter-free buckwheat cookies are best when freshly made.
Since the recipe and baking are so quick, we recommend preparing them in the right amount. If we don’t eat them all at once, let’s put them in a food bag or a tin can

Buckwheat Cookies
How can I enrich them?
If we want to make the buckwheat cookies more delicious, we can add a handful of chocolate chips. Even chopped dried fruits are an excellent addition: we can use chopped walnuts, ground hazelnuts, almond flakes, or whatever we like best.
