I used wax paper at first for the 'tubes' (as some have called them) and they stuck to it.I sprayed my cookie sheets the next time but found that the butter will create its on slick surface so that you don't need paper.Also, that recipe, in no way makes 4 dozen tubes! It's not even mathematically possible! Mine make about a dozen.The filling was another issue. I consider myself a novice and the explanation was not very clear. I DID end up overbeating the cream in the end! ARGH!So at 9:30pm that night I went out to the grocery store and bought DREAM WHIP. I substituted brandy for the vanilla.Fingers crossed the co-workers enjoy it tomorrow!So to people new to the recipe - it's time consuming!

With my arthritis, I find it difficult to manoeuver the spoon handle so I made these in a mini-muffin pan and then filled them like tarts.

I'd like to know how to store them.....how long do they keep? Do they get soggy in the refrigerator?

Maiden Faire....Maybe you should just try another recipe. Or you could just substitute apple juice as others have said. Apple juice is always a good substitute for any alcohol in a recipe.

I didn't use any alcohol. For the cookie I used a good vanilla and in the creamy middle I used a 1/4 cup of very strong coffee. For my daughter I did not use coffee...I used chai tea. Beyond great with the chai.

Try apple juice as a sub for the alcohol. Please do not use any alcohol flavoring in the cookie if friends and family have an alcohol problem.

I think this looks scrumptious! However, I can't stand the taste of any alcohol. Beer, brandy, whiskey, vodka, liqueurs, cordials...it doesn't matter, I find alcohol disgusting.Does anyone have any idea as to what I can substitute the brandy in the filling with? I'm not too worried about the cookie. I can use an extract. But I can't use 1/2 cup of extract in the filling; also I too have loved ones in AA. Since you can't cook the alcohol off in the filling, it becomes more than just a taste aversion. Any ideas? I have loved ones in the Navy, and would like to welcome them home with something a little special! Thanks for help and suggestions.

The tube is the first set of ingredients. The outside of the tube itself is formed by rolling the cookie shape around the wooden spoon and nothing else is done to the outside.
