Description |
|
| "Wolf's Teeth" are egg and brandy cookies popular throughout Alsace. The cookies will be somewhat flat and cake like. In Alsace, there are special molds to make these cookies. The molds are triangular to give the cookies a sharp point like a wolf's tooth. You may readily use a cookie cutter. | |
