My grandmother always made these at Christmas. They do taste better when they sit for a few days. I crunched the waffers so you don't need a food processor. It gives them a little more texture.

I have made this recipe every year for 6 years now and my friends and family look forward to 30 more! It's fast, easy, and delicious.

These taste great. I found that putting them in the fridge for a couple of days gives them a nice, firm texture. Cover tighly, though, or they will dry out.

I made these cookies over 20 years ago to take to my first office potluck. I thought they were a little odd at the time, but everyone raved over them. After making them a couple more times, I was sold, too. I haven't made them in several years, but they're on my list for this Christmas!
