Buckwheat thumbprint cookies with grapes
These little thumbprint cookies are already a tradition every December in our home. This year we decided to make them with 100% buckwheat flour and they came out brilliant. Brittle, not too sweet + they have a lovely nutty flavor. We always refrigerate them for about 30 minutes before baking. This way they are easier to shape and more lovely in general. You can cover them in dark chocolate or use any jam you like, but we prefer grape jam and white chocolate. Give it a try, they are super easy to make.
