Oh these look fantastic. A friend of mine makes them but I have never gotten the recipe from her. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks for the recipe! I needed one for this type of cookie - we always get them from neighbors and friends at Christmas, but I've never made them and they are soo good.

How can you go wrong with a candy cup in a cookie?
