Okay, here's the recipe I was promised. I'm hoping to get to them for breakfast tomorrow. I have very little time left of today but will make a "go" of them anyway. (That way I'll actually have some that make it together instead of six chimes, "May I have some dough?") Just for the record and so I don't get in trouble, the sixth chime is the dog, not Tracy. Ha ha ha :)
Today was fairly relaxing; we cleaned the living room/dining room though you can't tell, canned peaches, and dehydrated raspberries among our daily things. Mike and Aaron went blueberry scouting for some friends and found three more places to pick. I also went to town and some of the kids went to the pool for a while.

This is the way you mix your dough until you realize your bowl isn't big enough for ALL the ingredients...
So...you put it into your huge bowl so the dough looks dwarfed but you're able to mix
The filling reminds me of a not-so-sweet frosting for a cake.
Putting the cookies together. I'll add here that I suggest you grease your pan before baking your cookies. I had a hard time getting mine off.
What's left after a few bites.
