Here is just a small post when I was able to make some Lithuanian cookies with friends.

As I entered the apartment, these guys were busy making their nest.

So the ingredients were fairly simple: flour, salt, sugar, and sour cream. I think that was it. The dough is kneaded and rolled out. Then it is cut and put into oil to fry.

Once golden, they are taken out of the frying pan and drizzled with honey or powdered sugar... sounds a lot like ausukis to me.

I made a special cookie.
On another note, I made some no-bake cookies, but they ended up not turning out as well because I put to much milk in the mixture and it ended up being to runny. Oh well, they were still tasty.
Next post will show my trip to the beautiful peninsula off the coast of Lithuania.
