After baking, the cookies are dipped in chocolate, which adds a rich and decadent flavor. The delicate texture and intricate pattern of the cookie give it its distinctive name.

They can be made with various types of nuts and other additions, such as coconut or dried fruit, to add variety to the recipe.
