I found an old one that uses the same flour and butter, egg yolks & water. practically the same, so I have confidence now that what I just put in the refrigerator is going to be ok.

My husband never cared for ladylocks because he didn't want all that icing. So I changed it to where I cut the dough in 3 or 4 inch squares and put a teaspoon of filling on it. I like them better with fruit or nut filling rather than the icing.

Lot of trouble, but they are good. Take a bite and there's layers of flaky cookie - a lot easier than using the clothespins. My sister always made them with clothespins but she died several years ago. I miss calling her as we watched our stuff baking in the oven and compared notes.

Thank you so much.

Oh, I had to join Allrecipes - I think I belonged a long time ago, don't know how I lost the membership.
