Would make this again.
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!

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

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.

My Grandma always made these at holidays, but we roll in powdered sugar when fresh out of oven.

I have baked these for several years now. Every year my sisters always ask for these cookies. I bake alot of cookies and candy for the holidays but these are the most requested ones. When I place the ball of dough on the cookie sheet I use my finger to make an imprint and when they are cooled, I put a little of the creme cheese icing in the indention. I also use red and green food coloring in my icing.
