Would make this again.
I'm 13 years old and remember making these with my grandmother. She knew the recipie by heart, but then she got alsheimers and I have missed the smell of her baking whenever we go to my grandparents house. I can't wait to try this recipie out!

We used to make this cookie every Christmas with my Mom who is from Switzerland. I lost her receipe and this one worked wonderfully. Now I'm doing them with my kids!...

Another one of my favorites! The dough works better if you don't chill it in between. I found that it worked better.
