    I just made these last night.After browsing web at Jan Hagel recipes,they vary a bit.I used 1/2 white & 1/2 brown sugar.My advice is to score before baking,(I used a 15X10 jelly roll pan)Once out of oven cut through,but let cool in pan.I had to figure that out myself.But they are very pretty and catch people's eye!

    This recipe looks very familiar. I am almost positive they were part of our traditional family baking at Christmas. Thank you for submitting it.
