In many parts in Macedonia, it is a tradition, especially among young moms, when a baby makes its first steps, the mom makes these cookies that look like little feet, so the baby's further steps would be firm and stable. Little feet are made of sweet dough.

- Leave the dough to rest and to rise.
- When it has risen, it means that the dough is ready for work. Divide it into two parts for easier handling. Stretch a crust with thickness of 5-6 mm and cut out foot shapes with a special mold If you don't have a mold, you can improvise and make your own mold using a thin metal or shape the foots with bare hands - use your imagination!

- Once cookies are baked and cooled down, wrap each pair in ecophene and give to family and friends as a blessing to the first steps of your baby.
