Thanks, One other question. The recipe says to add flour , confectioner’s, sugar and cornstarch together. For the dough I did not see confectioner’s listed…only for the filling. Is this a misprint?
Hi Yvonne, It’s supposed to just be granulated sugar. I changed it to be correct. Thanks! 🙂
These cookies look so good. I’ll be making these later this week. Thanks for the recipe.
You’re Welcome Harriet! Enjoy!
