german pumpernickel sandwich cookies
(1 rating)
This is somewhat similar to the meringue cookie , with the exception these have pumpernickel bread crumbs in them ; that makes them a little chewy and crunchy at the same time. Some of the rye berries stay in little pieces, when crumbled,that's what should happen. It is still a delicate cookie sandwich. Real German Pumpernickel(whole rye berry bread) is made with whole rye meal, water , malt extract, salt and yeast. Gobble them up!
