These cookies were delicious and look so festive for the holidays. I made my cookies a little on the small side, so the recipe yielded plenty. I put the leftover cookies in a resealable container in the fridge, they taste great cold too!

Recipe only yielded 48 cookies and therefore 24 sandwiches, far from 34 as stated. Too much time for so small result. Likely not make these again. Wish they would have spread and still very curious about lack of egg as well as leavening agents?

Making these with gluten free flour. Noticed there is no egg in this recipe... hope that is true. So far they do not spread like in the photograph so I am flattening them by hand before the go in the oven. Update later on the final product and sandwich count.
