Would make this again.
I personally did not care for these cookies because I thought they were dry. I will make them again though because my aunt and grandmother LOVED them! So I was happy to make a cookie for others to enjoy on Christmas :)

These cookies are fabulous. They have a crubly texture and really rich flavor. Try making them with dark chocolate chips (chilled or frozen helps). Helpful hint: Make sure to chill the dough for a while before trying to roll them into shape.

My new daugher in law is Mexican. I made them to take to the Red Hat Society Christmas party this Thursday. I tasted a sample. They were great. I will make them again for my daughter in law when she visits in December for the holidays. Yummy
crumbly and delicious

Would make this again.
These cookies were very simple to make. They do come out a bit dry...so I added extra butter which made them more chewy. I also experimented adding different candy to them. Overall the cookies were good.
