Sarah, you're killing me with the food posts. i can gain weight just looking at it, and I have to say if these were any where I could get my hands on them they'd be GONE! Might have to give these a try for Christmas.

ReplyDeleteThis looks like a Sassy Cheryl SMT post.
Sarah. . . .why do you always tempt me with these yummy goodies!?!?!? You need to come to my house and do some for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing in the Sassy Cheryl's SMThursday fun.
Shortening is vegetable fat used for making cakes, pies pastries etc. Some people used lard. I use Crisco brand. Honey, when you get here I will make you a whole cake! Come on lottery numbers!
ReplyDeleteGot to make these...I have been cooking soup as of late so some cookies would be a sweet change. Thanks for sharing, Tootsie
