Every culture needs a lightly sweetened, enriched bread dough with a lightly sweetened COOKIE (endless flavor possibilities) baked on top! This incredibly tasty bread can be eaten with a meal (not TOO sweet), with a hot beverage at breakfast time, or as a sweet afternoon snack. Adjust the cookie flavors and colors to fit any season or celebration! Why not pumpkin spice for fall or pastel colors for spring? Regardless, this impressive looking bread will fit most any occasion.
