This prize-winning recipe was just published in the Chicago Tribune, and was submitted by our friend, Shana Schuman. I haven't tried them yet, but Shana is a great cook in general and I am sure they are delicious. I record them here so that I don't lose the recipe!! Cooking time includes 3 hours of dough-chilling time.
