I made these cookies for a birthday; the theme was Legend of Zelda video game. I used a flour?regularly?sold in every?supermarket in Chile is all-purpose flour roasted, usually, we sprinkle this flour on top of watermelon during the summer or mix it with milk to create a drink call Ulpo, a little like the Mexican atole. These cookies are very crisp.
