Last week, I made my first-ever batch of what I nicknamed “devil cookies.” The name was originally inspired by the sheer number of processes involved: making the dough, making the filling, chilling each, then rolling out the dough, adding the filling, rolling all that up and freezing, then slicing and finally baking. Around six hours, start-to-finish.

Well, the first set came out of the oven, and each of the three cookies in the center row was in the shape of the number 6. Galletas del diablo!

And now that they’re almost all gone (just two left), I can at least say that they were totally worth the effort. Galletas del diablo will definitely be repeated.
