Notes: Grandma Kusinski use to make these every Christmas and they could never be put in the Teacher's Cookie Tins as gifts because we would all eat them! I seem to remember she would use fig apricot filling but you can use your favorite!
A Kusinski tradition that dates back to the 1960s maybe longer!
