Introduction

LUSH, RICH, wonderful accompaniment to a good cup of coffee. This is by no means healthy. This is meant only as an occasional treat.

This is a tripled recipe. I like to make large batches and then freeze the rest for future occasions, or to share with good friends and those who've been particularly kind or need a kindness shown them.

Divide dough into six equal balls. Press two balls to 1/2 inch discs on lightly greased cookie sheets. Score with Pizza Slicer. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned at edges.
