I must start with an apology, though. I sliced off a divot on the tip of my right fourth finger on my mandoline Friday. I have a large bandage on it so typing is awkward, and not too accurate. So, although I am trying to catch all of my typos, if some squeak by my proofreading, sorry.
These little babies are like a combination shortbread/cinnamon donut hole. I am not kidding when I tell you that they lasted 20 minutes from the time I pulled them out of the oven. That includes photo time, too. My family literally could not get enough and were so sad when they were all gone and I wouldn’t make another batch.
First, I want to warn you about this cookie. When you mix up the ingredients, you get crumbs. It does not resemble dough at all. You have to scoop up a handful and squeeze back and forth in your hands to form the balls. They do stay together, though, so don’t lose heart as you make them.
