These look so good Amy! I love me some glaze. :)
I need to make these for my hubby – they’re one of his favorites. Thank you!!
These cookies remind me of some that my Nana used to make Amy – totally giving them a try!
Where is the receipe for the cream cheese drizzle icing shown on the cookies
These appear to be coated in sugar. Do you roll the balls in sugar before baking? Also, how big should the balls be and how many cookies does the recipe yield?
Yes, I roll them into sugar before baking. The ball are about 1.5 inches and the recipe make about 2 dozen. Thanks.
