This is a recipe you will find yourself making during the holiday season. For Example, the filling is similar to that of pecan pie therefore I like to make these for Thanksgiving. It is true, I don’t always like pie so these treats are perfect! In conclusion I share with you a few tips to make this recipe easier to make even though they are simple to put together.
Allow a few hours to put these simple treats together. You will have to let the dough rest while mixing up the filling. In the past, I have made these a few weeks in advance and store in freezer. The dough got a little flaky but it saved time making so far in advance.
It is best to make the dough in a mixer. I use my large KitchenAid stand mixer for this recipe to be sure the ingredients are well mixed.
