A melt in your mouth cookie. This is my daughters favourite have been making this cookie for 30 years. A big hit and it just isn't Christmas without these wonderful delights. Do add these to your Christmas baking receipes.
Merry Christmas to you!!! five stars

These were EASY and fun to make. I wrote down the recipe and will make them again next year for Christmas! They are light and crunchy. Excellent with tea, coffee or that cold glass of milk. To me this recipe lends itself to many variations. Like Pecan, or Walnut. How about maybe Almonds with almond flavoring... yummy. My head is full of ideas for more stuff to add into the tender shortbread.

Anyhow, I do recommend this recipe and it came out easily from the cookie press; Which I've never had any success with before.

We have a new Holiday Favorite now!

Thank you
Gin five stars

Would not make this again.
I am a very experienced cookie baker, so I can gaurentee that I did everything the recipe said. These cookies turned out hard as a rock, and tasted like a rock, too. I haven't the faintest idea why anyone would reccomend this cookie, unless they are playing a prank, or something. I strongly do NOT reccomend this "recipe" for disaster! one star
