My grandmother made these all the time, and so have my mom and myself. However, we've never used vanilla, and have used either chocolate sprinkles, or marischino(?) cherries (drained wel) on them. They are the best cookies around!! 5 stars

I've made these for years and everybody loves them. Instead of using a fork, I use the bottom of a glass dipped in colored sugar to flatten them. 5 stars

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. 5 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! 5 stars
