Poster's Notes:
These recipes are not TNT, but I got them from a TNT recipe book put out by an organization in my hometown.
I have a family recipe for the same cookies which I cannot locate. I've called my sister for the recipe and when I get it I will forward it along. The amounts of the ingredients may differ - I don't know. But my recipe if definitely TNT. These are also sold in Italian bakeries (of course) and in our local supermarkets.
