I\'ve been looking fora recipe like this for awhile now. They were incredible. Left them in exactly 15 minutes. Instead of rolling them in powdered sugar, I put some powered sugar in a big zip lock bag, put in 3 at a time and just shook the bag. It completely covered the cookies, easier way of doing it. Also bumped it to a half tbsp of vanilla by accident but thats fine. Just made them extra yummy.. Tried combining by hand at first but ended up switching to my stand mixture which made a difference in the dough.
Also use parchment if you don\'t trust your pans or oven. Did it both ways and some burned without the parchment paper. 5 stars

These are delicious. My girlfriends and I get together every year and bake holiday cookies. These are by far the most favored by all our families and friends. We make hundreds! 5 stars
