Recipe
I have a sweet tooth and can’t imagine my daily diet without a dessert. I love anything except meringues. I’m just indifferent to them. But my daughter loves meringues so I make homemade ones for her. Once I had some leftovers and thought that it would be nice to somehow upgrade this dessert. This is how these sea shell cookies with meringues and nuts were born.
Shortbread cookies are always delicious. Add walnuts and meringues to them and the recipe turns into an amazing dessert. These sea shell cookies remind me of my childhood so I hope you enjoy the recipe too!
