Sometimes a cookies is a cookie.
But today -- Day 3 of our Cover-to-Cover Holiday Cookie Project -- we've got a group of tasty treats without the word "cookie" in sight.
We've got sandies and tassies aplenty.
We've got sandwiches and florentines galore.
You want noel balls? We've got plenty.
But who cares? No big deal.
We want mooooooorrrreee...
Okay, sorry for that brief interlude.
Anyway, today's crop of cookies-by-another-name includes some hits, some misses, and one recipe that turned into a greasy, messy disaster for everyone who tried it. (More than one reader used the words "disaster" and "nightmare.")
