Which dessert is considered one of the oldest in the world? This title can be given to cookies, as they appeared about 10,000 years ago. Historians say that the first cookies were baked in the Roman Empire. Of course, no one knew about sweet cookies then, as they were created without sugar. The
first sweet cookies as a dessert were baked in India. Sugar cane was extracted there. Accordingly, they could use its fruits as a sweetener
. The real sweet cookies entered history thanks to England, where they began to bake sugar cookies in large quantities.

With damp hands, mold the dough into small rolls and roll them in semolina.
