Directions
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?
