Filled Cookies This recipe belonged to Marie Cydrus, my Aunt and  a very nice lady. This was a recipe she used often in the 1950's and 60's. She doesn't include complete instructions. For instance, she did not include the temperature for baking. Nor did she say you would need to cut the cookies into a round shape after you "roll out" and before you "bake". Sometimes when they would write a recipe down, they just took for granted that everyone knew how to bake, what temperatures to use, and what to do before filling a cookie. And back then, they did. I know the recipe isn't complete, but I didn't want what there was to be lost forever. I know a real cook will know what to do.
