HAWAIIAN DREAM COOKIES
These cookies are lovely as they are, but I'll sometimes use a light-colored sanding sugar for the top: First, lightly brush the top cookie with cream, then sprinkle with sanding sugar. This can be done before or after placing the cookie on top of the filling. -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario
