Laskonky

Laskonky are popular Slovak and Czech cookies consisting of two crispy meringues combined with various buttercream fillings. The meringues occasionally contain ground walnuts or coconut and are usually baked into thin, oval shapes. Traditionally, caramel buttercream is used as a filling, but many varieties nowadays infuse it with coffee or chocolate. These crispy sweet treats are a staple in many traditional Slovak and Czech pastry shops. They are usually enjoyed as dessert over a cup of warm coffee or tea.
