Great love of all mankind enjoys such a dessert as cookies. The production of this flour product increases exponentially every year. Probably, you notice that constantly on the shelves of stores appear new types of cookies.
Basically, we are accustomed to eat cookies with tea, coffee or warm milk. Where this tradition came from, it is not clear to the end. For example, in Japan, on the contrary, do not particularly like to eat cookies with tea or milk. The fact is that tea in Asian countries is not accepted to combine with desserts, and many Japanese do not like dairy products. Therefore, in Asian countries cookies are eaten with cold water.
We will not delve so much into the Asian culture of cookie consumption. Better we will make homemade cookies and eat them with milk or tea.
