Very rich, too; shouldn't have eaten so many. :0 Below are the rosette cookies I made this afternoon. Enjoy! (Scroll to bottom of this post for a little tutorial!) Just look at how neat they look on the inside, (below) they're so lacy and fragile. Here below is the only surviving butterfly cookie. I made these last and was running out of batter, oh well, kind of pretty and sculptural looking though. Here is one of the last blobs of batter I poured into the oil.
