I have had this recipe for a long time. It is from a cook book that was my Mom's. Brandy Snaps are an old time favorite that have been around for ages. They are very easy to make. It is a very crisp delicate buttery, and sweet Canolli looking cookie. They are filled with whipped cream, and much smaller than a Canolli. They are very light, and not filling at all. I enjoy these very much. You may also drape them over Ramekins to mold in to bowls. They are great filled with vanilla ice cream. The cookies are nice for a special occasion, or a nice addition to your holiday desserts. Enjoy!!
