Homemade
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. This recipe proves that even the tastiest store-bought cookies can be made at home with minimal effort. All you need is a classic dough and a sweet filling. I recommend making the dough more neutral in flavor so that all the sweetness comes from the filling. Be sure the dough isn't too stiff—it should roll out easily into a thin sheet. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
