About

This is a family favorite. It is a very delicate cookie, similar to Greek Kourabiedes, so be careful in handling. They melt in your mouth!

Armenian Sugar Fingers is the first recipe I posted to my blog (no photo), and an item I donated to many charitable events to raise money during my catering career.
