Medenki Recipe
Today we are having a guest from our neighbour Bulgaria. Medenki is a Bulgarian cookie. In Bulgarian and Russian cuisines honey is a common ingredient. Medovik cake is one of the well known recipes of the region which is also prepared with honey for example.
Medenki is nor known as much as medovik but I think it should be. It's a really delicious biscuit which can be easily prepared and baked. The harmony of cinnamon and chocolate is fantastic.
You can prepare them without chocolate by the way, it's not a must, but according to me it tastes better with chocolate.
If you don't like white chocolate, just use whichever you like.
Enjoy the recipe...
