I’ve been wanting to make these for sometime and then I saw them on another 365 blog and decided to go for it–it is Valentine’s weekend after all. I made these a number of years ago but used a cake mix for the cookie part. This recipe comes from Smitten Kitchen, my favorite food blog. They are very rich and sweet. I think I might like them better with a cream cheese filling instead of just a shortening/butter icing. I am taking them to a casual dinner tonight so I will get most of them out of the house.

your photo is great, and you are exactly right about the filling! I knew it needed something not quite as sweet, but couldn’t put my finger on it.
have a wonderful weekend.

Wow, and yum. I know what I’ll be doing this afternoon! I’ll make sure to remember your amendment.
you did an awesome job, they look professionally made!
