Today I’m sharing another of my grandma’s recipes that she has been making for christmas for years. She always puts Jam in them, but me being me had to trying something else too and I had a lovely jar of Dulce de leche from Superstore so I added some of the of that too.

I mean that jar of Dulce de leche was just begging to be used. And these yummy little cookies were the perfect vehicle.
