This is a lovely sandwich cookie that went like hotcakes at a recent sale. I rolled the edges in orange sugar for a more elegant look. Everyone wanted the recipe! -
The idea of this cookie was good but when I made it the cookie its self has no flavor just tastes like dough,The filling just ran all over the cookie and onto the table.
