Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, try replacing half of the shortening with unsweetened applesauce. If you want to add a twist, consider including chocolate chips or dried fruit in the filling. Ensure the dough is not too sticky by adjusting flour as needed. Remember to keep the filling chilled to prevent it from melting during baking.
Serving Suggestions
These filled drops are delightful on their own, but you can elevate the experience by serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of Aunt Mamie'S Salad for a refreshing contrast. They also pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea for an afternoon treat.
