Comments

Simply, deliciously.. Scrumptious. My husband's favorite with a hot cup of coffee on Sunday morning while relaxing before the day starts.

These are nice for the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays, however, they are very nice at any time of the year. We have them for a dessert buffet at our Easter dinners every year and are always one of the first cookies to go!
