I love Italian cookies...have an Italian con-madre who taught me how to make some many years ago when we were young mommies...she now lives in Poughkeepsie, NY, and I miss her much.<br /><br />One day I was watching some program on the Foodnetwork, and the Italian host was making what we call around here, Mexican Wedding Cookies, but he call them something else, but in English it translates to "Liar Cookies." I loved it and when I made some for my grandsons I told them that if they ate any and admitted not getting into the cookie platter, they would be found out. Well, as little ones will do, they challenged me and I called them liars...I told them to go to the mirror and check out their powdered sugar smiles...they just fell down laughing, so now, we call them Liar cookies.<br /><br />Glad the hurricane didn't do much damage...we sure could use some rain and cooler weather out west...too HOT!! Have a great week.<br /><br />xxoo,<br />GeorginaGeorginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116265151107562546noreply@blogger.com
