This yummy recipe comes from my way cool Granny! She is the most amazing cook. She has spoiled my family and makes it hard to have anything else. I love trying to make her recipes. This one was made for the blessing of our baby girl. She made a huge platter and they were gone. I was lucky to get the last one. They have a more cakie taste to them. I like them to because they give me the idea that they are on the healthier side!
