Everyone knows cookies for the meat grinder. Before this recipe, I saw only the shape of a chrysanthemum and smooth mounds of minced dough strips, and somehow that's it. And here are roses, and even with a poppy. It's amazing that I haven't seen this option before. Apparently, it's time to be inspired by the new face of a long-forgotten baking. From these ingredients, 25 cookies of a decent size are obtained. Cookies do not turn out to be very sweet, so sweet tooths can add sugar to the dough or sprinkle cookies with poppy seeds mixed with sugar for a sugar crust.

Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
