GATEAUX BONBONS
I made these cookies very early on in my baking career for an elementary school project. My best friend back then helped by loaning me her Eiffel Tower and recipe, it was a very colourful card so vivid still in my mind. The project was a big hit and my class Loved the cookies i brought !! I thought of these a while ago and b/c of the wonderful internet was able to locate the recipe on-line, yahoo !!! I told my husband about this story long ago and recently he has tried these great little cookies, little different with the marmalade filling and very festive with the coloured icing.
