They are also around the Vanilla Wafers, usually on the top shelf of the market.

We've made this recipe for years - have it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The hardest part is finding the cookies. They are called Famous Cookies and come in a long box. Usually I find them in the ice cream section or near it.

I remember my Mother making this cake and wished she had made it more often. This cake is simple and tastes great

I have had this cake since I was a little girl growing up in New York when my mother would make it. I now make it all the time. It is wonderful and very rich.
