Would not make this again.
I would not make these cookies again. The dough was thick and hard to press out of the cookie press also the cookies are not very sweet and don't have much taste. I ended up rolling out the dough and using cookie cutters 1 star

Would not make this again.
They were OK but not phenomenal. Easy to do, etc. but I'll look for a better recipe. Flavor could be better. 3 stars
