I make these up and freeze the dough until ready to bake. Nice with a good glass of port, fruit compote and ice cream.

My new favorite cookie recipe. I wasn’t patient enough to chill the dough, so I formed the newly made dough into small balls and pressed with a sugar coated small glass. It was greatly appreciated by family who thinks most cookies are too sweet. I also heard, “I hate raisins, but these cookies make them taste good.” This person says raisins are grapes that couldn’t pass the muster.
