Mix together cookie layer ingredients and add enough flour to roll out nicely. Take a piece of dough about the size of your fist and pat it out in pie tins. It will be thin. Bake 2 at a time at 375 degrees about 10 minutes. Makes about 9 pie size cookies. Spread filling between each layer and on top of assembled cake. Sometimes you can make 2 cakes from this recipe. This cake improves with age after the filling has soaked into the cookie layers. Best if eaten a day or 2 after it is made.
