Cookies that remind us of our childhood

It has been a while since I wanted to make this recipe. I generally like to reminisce recipes of my childhood years and take a journey back to the past and the carefree moments of that period of my life. Cooking, with its aromas and flavors, helps me do exactly that, and it’s one of the reasons I love being in the kitchen and cooking so much. Today’s recipe, therefore, has a “mom’s” aroma since I think that most mothers used to shape and bake cookies just like these. The house was full of aromas, and we were all looking forward to eating them when they came out of the oven. Do you have these memories too?

Our beloved cookies!

When I was making this recipe and choosing the ingredients, the most important thing was that I wanted the ingredients to be simple and for everyone to be able to find them at the nearest supermarket. To be precise, I imagined a child asking his parents in a loving and pressing way for cookies on a Saturday morning. So, they opened the cupboards and immediately started preparing them. Based on this, I chose all the ingredients, and I truly think that they exist in every house. I hope you and your little kid will love them very much, and I hope that you will live this image I had in my mind, if you want it.
