I used half the dough to make Onesies for a baby shower, and used the other half of the dough as directed. They were pretty and delicious.

I made these a little bigger, so I got 4 dozen. They were a hit at the bridal shower I took them too - tinted the filling to match the wedding colors (or close as I could). Will definitely make them again
