CARAWAY COOKIES

Divine Kosher Cuisine: Catering to Family and Friends
by Rise' Routenberg, Barbara Wasser

The caraway seeds in this unusual recipe add a pleasant pungency to this mildly sweet, biscuit-like cookie. A clever complement to a sweet dessert wine.
Dairy Or Pareve

Ingredients
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
