Brittle spicy cheese cakes - the perfect snack to go with wine or beer

Spicy shortbread cookies with tomato jam are the perfect snack for any occasion. They are sure to surprise with their taste, as they look like a sweet shortcake with fruit jam.

Tomato jam cookies.

This is a great appetizer with wine or beer. Both the jam and the cakes are easy and quick to prepare. I recommend the tried and tested spicy tomato jam recipe

The cookies can be prepared without tomato jam, and before baking, sprinkle them with your favorite spices: cumin, nigella or rosemary. We can also use any other spicy chutney instead of tomato jam, such as orange with chili

For crispy cakes, we can use any yellow cheese. For example, it can be gouda cheese, universal in terms of flavor, as well as other more pronounced ones.

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
