- Add baking soda, vanilla, and salt; mix thoroughly.

Tips & Substitutions
For a nut-free option, consider substituting ground walnuts with ground almonds or sunflower seeds. When caramelizing the sugar and margarine, ensure to stir continuously to prevent burning. If you want a chewier texture, add an extra egg white. The cookies can also be topped with nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These R S V P Cookies make a delightful treat on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. Consider serving them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. For a festive touch, arrange them on a platter with other holiday cookies, such as those from American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 300°F for about 5-7 minutes, which will help restore their original texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?
To prevent excessive spreading, chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps firm up the fat in the dough. Also, make sure you are using the right flour measurement, as too little flour can lead to flat cookies.
