Merry Christmas to all, and to all a beautiful day! Still can’t believe this year is coming to an end. It was one awesome year. Hope all had a beautiful year, as well.
Grandma Anna’s Tea Time Tessies! Every Christmas we would wait for these mini tasty desserts. It was a must have in our house. Unfortunately, she can no longer make them for us. So I have taken over! She’s proud to have her granddaughter making them now. And….I’m sharing her awesome recipe with you all.
These tea time tessies are super easy to make. I use thisΒ mini muffin panΒ to make these cookies. It is a great sturdy pan!
