These are delicious and very easy to make.. perfect for Christmas Party! They were the best when they were still warm but still great the next day. I even warmed them up again to get that just out of the oven feel! Wrap up the fun with a chocolate twist on traditional Russian tea cakes. Surprise! There’s chocolate in the center of each cookie.
