Other times of the year, these easy cookies can be filled with any kind of jam or jelly (before baking), chocolate ganache (after baking), or prepared pie filling (after baking). Once these festive cookies are baked and cooled, they are drizzled with an easy orange glaze; they are not only delicious, but also very attractive.
