DUTCH LETTERS
These are a cross between a pastry and a cookie. They never last longer than a day around here. They are flaky, buttery almond delights! They are not hard to make, just a little time consuming--BUT SO WORTH IT! I hope you try them and see for yourself how really wonderful they are. Prep time includes chilling the dough.
