  1. I made these this afternoon, they are fantastic. Of course I did change it a little bit, used brown sugar instead of white..but WOW! Screw the Pecan Tassies they're too much work, these are just as good. I made Kiffel dough too, going to bake them tomorrow; at least I plan to bake them tomorrow. I need a really really good buttery cut-out sugar type recipe, you have any?

  2. I don't make sugar cookies. Too many years with Woody. She always wanted to make them and then I'd have to decorate them which was not enjoyable.
