These were my late mother's best cookies, and she made them faithfully for the holidays. I now make them for my kids. I can't get enough of the old traditions. I usually put a cherry on them but I don't frost them. They store easier with no frosting. five stars

I've made these for years - I love how soft & creamy they are! I don't use frosting though. I just dip the fork in colored sugar (not flour) before I flatten the cookies. They look festive and are easier to store without frosting! five stars

Tint the frosting red or green and add mint extract. Perfect for your Christmas cookies platter. Yum!! five stars

Delicious and melty, however the estimated number of cookies is way off. Making 1-inch balls, I was only able to make about 18 cookies, not 36. Would also be delicious with a hint of lemon extract substituted for the vanilla. five stars
