Russian cigarettes – Belgian cookies

This recipe for Belgian cookies called “Russian Cigarettes”, lightweight enough and super original.

As a tip, there could only be: make cigarettes larger diameter and less sweet (use half a serving sugar), fill them with whipped sour cream with icing sugar (after allowing the liver to cool). Melted chocolate can combine with cognac and a tablespoon of water, it will become more “smooth.” And finally, you can sprinkle the tip of a Russian cigar coconut flakes.
