Oh, man, these were divine! As individual cookies, they were fantastic, but make the buttercream filling, and they surpassed fantastic to go balisstic! I would like to recommend the extra direction to say, spread the filling generously. Of course, you may not make it to two cookies at the same time. They are extremely rich! Will make a good presentation on my Christmas trays if I make them really thin. Thnx for posting this wonderful recipe, JamesDean'sGirl. Made for Fall 2008 My-3-Chefs.
