Treat of the Week, Bonus Edition: Cassis Crisps

This week, we have an extra treat with a wonderful mellow flavor and an exotic flare. My mother whipped up this batch of beautiful cookies to add a little excitement to the week. Thin and crispy, these aren't just your average sugar cookies. They are infused with a quarter of a cup of Creme de Cassis--a black-currant-flavored liqueur which gives them a lush, mild, rich flavor. They are adorned with colorful sanding sugar.

We enjoyed them with tea and chocolate pudding surmounted by whipped cream rosettes.
