Comments from Barry’s sister, who provided this recipe:
“Jelly is good too. Orange marmalade, honey. Popcorn looked good but didn’t taste like much.” (maybe caramel corn???)
Notes from when we tried this at Xmas 2004:
Substituted almond extract for the vanilla, and it was wonderful. The recipe made about 60 smaller cookies, so we filled some with strawberry jam and some with apple butter.
