Japanese soba-boro (buckwheat cookies)
Cookies
Japanese cuisine
Derived from the Japanese soba (buckwheat) and the Portuguese <em>bolo</em> (cookie), Japanese people now use boro a word to describe many kinds of round and rustic cookies. I can’t think of any American baked goods with the texture of these cookies. They have the lightness of meringue, but with a toasty and substantial crunch. <br /> <br />Soba-boro are traditionally shaped like little flowers, but I figured that a little adaptation wouldn’t hurt the taste. The resulting cookies were exceedingly plain looking and brown, but that didn’t stop my brother and me from fighting over the last batch.
