Empire Biscuits Recipe #198748
These are a must for any christmas cookie tray in my family. A sweet, flavourful sandwich cookie that you can decorate any way you like. I like to use a teeny tiny cookie cutter to make bite-sized cookies, but I believe that they are traditionally made with slightly larger rounds.
