I made these for my family for Christmas eve. Most said that they preferred the regular wedding cakes. I think that they tasted better when they were fresh from the oven.

These cookies melt in your mouth the same as the originals. Be sure to use high quality chocolate and real vanilla. A lovely addition to any cookie platter and so rich only a few go a long way. Dough freezes nicely.
