We can bee friendlier to the nature

We searched for different recipees, tried out several ones, some of the result were not successful and ended in a dust bin. Finally, these are the winners.










We took the job seriously but also had a lot of fun and were proud when we made it.

pinch of salt
two eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or 3 vanilla sugars or 1 scraped vanilla

Dough ingredients are mixed in the dough and placed in a refrigerator for a few hours (maybe for a few days).Roll out the dough to 4 mm on the baking paper and cut out shapes. They can be placed on baking paper very closely, as they do not grow.
