Pink Confection

This recipe comes from Great Grandma Agnes Casey.  It has been a family favorite for over 70 years.

Nabisco “Famous Chocolate Wafers” were a key ingredient until they became unavailable. Celeste has developed a recipe to make the chocolate cookies from scratch, and I have included it in the current recipe.
