recipe's from Mrs Falk's cookbook - jelly roll and honey bee cookies

Well, well. We're heading down to New York after Easter and we will be popping by to visit the Falks. So excited! Will be so much fun :o) That brings us to the cookbook Mrs Falk gave to the girlies: where would we be without Honey Bee Cookies and Jelly Roll? Perhaps that is a rhetorical question? Nevertheless, in my opinion, they are an integral part of cooking in the Kurozweki kitchen :o) Mary once turned this into a chocolate roll, adding cocoa powder and then filled it with vanilla custard, and also made the vanilla version and stuffed it with chocolate custard... trivia: what was the occasion??? Andrew's first communion.
As for the honey bee cookies, they are bestest :o) Love them. I think supermodel Jimsy would agree.
