Snow Cap Cookies

As basic and easy it is to make these shortbread cookies with white, snow-like, caps, they look truly regal and fit any fancy occasion. This pastry might have been born as a time-efficient substitute for the royal Kyiv Cake, borrowing its main twist – the puffy meringue. They are perhaps not the most popular kind of cookies in Ukraine, but they are one of the most impressive for sure. So, they are often seen as the hallmark of dessert bars.

Even looking at these white, silky dainties is mouthwatering. Imagine tasting them and having the meringue melt on your tongue and tickle the taste buds, filling the mouth with sweet sugary juice. These snow cap cookies are truly irresistible. A definite keeper for coffee and tea lovers.
