Sacher Torte Cookies

Pin It



Another delicious cookies I am making this year during my Christmas Baking Extravaganza are Sacher Torte Cookies...... I found this recipe last year and they are making their comeback this year.

For those familiar with Sacher Torte you'll know that these cookies just like their original inspiration The Sacher Torte are not overly sweet..... They get most of  their sweetness from the apricot jam.
