We had a bake sale at work last week to raise money for the food bank.  I made  two kinds of cookies for it: thimble cookies and refrigerator cookies. I had originally planned to make Empire Cookies and thimble cookies, but I forgot about the need to chill the dough, so substituted the refrigerator cookies, as I had already made the dough for those. Tonight, I had time before supper, so rolled, cut and baked these. After supper, I assembled them.
I first encountered these (Empire Cookies) when we moved to the West Coast, in a bakery in Sidney. That was in the days before the Internet, so if you wanted a recipe, you had to hunt through a LOT of cookbooks, or try to figure it out on your own.
