Yesterday I shared almond toffee cookies with all of you. I made these cookies the same day. I doubled the batch of almond cookie, then rolled and cut them differently and filled them with a delicious cherry filling.
Heavenly.
And so pretty in pink. Don’t ya think?
In case you were wondering, my favorite color is pink.
I was the only girl with three brothers, naturally everything I owned was pink. And I loved it.
I especially love pink cookies! Want more pink recipes? Check these out….
