Recipe of the Week - Mini Raspberry Biscuits

These are delicious and light treats that are very popular and super easy to make!  I think they go well with coffee/tea or as a light sweet snack after dinner.  I also think that this would be a great dessert to bring to all the holiday parties that are right around the corner!

Enjoy!
