Would make this again.
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.

I love these cookies! If you like these, also look at the Basler Lekerli! THEY ROCK!

These cookies are the BOMB!!! I loved them. I was kinda of tired of the traditional sugar cookies and I wanted to do something different. These cookies are perfect with Royal icing. I added a bit more lemon zest...suberb.
