The author of this recipe says it’s cookies and in her blog they really look like cookies. In my case, they are balls and the texture is between cookies and buns. Therefore, we call them just balls. The first day they have crispy exterior and the next they are all soft. In my family, they are enjoyed in all forms. Just I have to hide some if I want to enjoy them next day. By the way, you can see from the ingredient list that all sweetness comes from just one tablespoon of honey, so in our opinion they are not cookies at all 🙂 But if you will enjoy them with a sweet drink, they will be perfect companions.
I still afraid to use rye flour in sweet baking, but these balls really fit here and encourage me to try other sweets with them.

Cucumber bites with cottage cheese
Very refreshing and easy snack. If you will use blender, you will prepare it in minutes. Taste was very similar to cold beet soup just without beets.
Wild strawberries with sour milk
Quick and easy drink or dessert. I made it for kids and they liked it a lot. It’s a pity that these berries were the last in our garden.
Corn bake with curd
There is no secret – we like groats with curd :). Long time ago I tried this recipe, so this time I made it again. It was very tasty for all of us. We ate with sour cream. Only next time I will try to make porridge not so stiff :). I need more practice cooking porridge because I never get the same consistence :).
Sticks with Vienna sausages
This is one of the favourite our meal. Even my little daughter eat a lot of sticks. 🙂
Fried hand pies with cottage cheese filling
Sometimes my body doesn’t like combination flour+meat, but in those moments we can substitute meat with cottage cheese and make delicious hand pies. My all family enjoyed them and 12 was enough only for three people, but not four 🙂 So next time I’ll have to prepare double portion that everyone cold be happy. 🙂
