Galaxy Cookies, I got this recipe from my mother and my favorite cookbook, Betty Crocker’s Cookbook These beautiful cookies are always a hit at parties because they look like little bonbons These cookies are great to make for children, and it’s easy to let them help out , Ive been making these for probably 30 years now! I started making them with mini Reese cups and Hershey Nugget candies They are always a hit! I have tried with Rolos but were a fail because the caramel leaked out Thank you for posting this recipe!, What food coloring do you use to get such vibrant red & blue?
