Chrusciki
Chrusciki are delicate Polish bow-tie cookies with a light, shattering crunch and a snowy dusting of confectioners’ sugar. Hints of vanilla and a splash of whiskey keep the dough tender and aromatic, making them irresistible alongside coffee or for holiday platters. Serve a piled platter of these airy angel wings when you want a festive, crowd-pleasing treat.
