ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, Mrs. Rouglah! My mom used to make cookies simlilar to this, but called them Mexican Wedding Cakes. So, whose wedding cakes are they? I like your variation and we'll have to try them.
ReplyDeleteI have seen them at Cosco called Danish wedding cookies, so who knows where they are from! lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! Worth trying once at home for just a weekend special day. Got a hand printed invite for my friend's sister bridal shower last weekend. It was a fantastic treat at NYC wedding venues with awesome food and desserts. Danced a lot and also got pretty favors ordered by them for all girls. Also seen her trousseau collection on the way back to home from party.
