These cookies came about in my attempt to make sugar & nut free french macaroons. (I can dream can’t I?) Needless to say it was a hot mess . Total disaster. I chose to forge ahead as I was not going to waste any ingredients. I made my circles of dough and put them in the oven. When I removed them from the oven they seem to have held their shape. Not so bad but the true test was to taste them. They were crunchy almost hard. Perfect, fill them with creme and we got a great creme filled cookie. They were so good unfortunately there was only enough batter for 6 cookies so I will double it for you so it can yield 12.
