These are a hit with my family and friends. I got this from Treasury of Christmas Recipe Collection. Be sure to make enough, because they will be gone before you know it. Christmas is the time when I make these. These are great appetizers.

- I use the Pampered Chef Cut-N-Seal(See NOTE below).
- Place about 2 tsps of the sausage filling on the cutouts.
- Top with 6 more cutouts.
