Such a great way to add a bit of protein to a healthful cookie! Your thumbprint cookies are so gorgeous as well - I'm impressed with how perfectly shaped they are! I love all your elegant photos - such a beautiful, graceful tribute to high tea.(Cheers for liquorice tea, too, which is one of my favorites... :-)Astra Librishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875529379234934319noreply@blogger.com
