    Made these today, Jo Jo. They were really good. I'll need to adjust the butter at the end, I think, as my dough was just a lil crumbly and I will add more filling, perhaps even doubling. Also, they were a lil salty, so I will cut that in half, next time. And there WILL be a next time! Thank you SO much for the recipe! I made blueberry and raspberry. Oh, and I did sub honey for the sugar(used half the amount, as I always do) and brown sugar for the powdered. :)
