I haven’t made the X cookies, but I’ve made similar ones from Nick Malgieri's cookbook ( who did the x cookie recipe in Julia’s book) and the Gourmet recipe. I agree with you. The people who like this type of...

Definitely Alfajores! I’ve never actually made them, but I bookmarked these two recipes. EatFeed.com – From A Baker’s Tour: Nick Malgieri’s Favorite Baking Recipes from Around the World http://www.eatfeed.com/?p=286...
