Would make this again.
Had decided in advance to use Chinese Five Spice Powder instead of Nutmeg...accidentally used 2 tsp instead of 1. Turned out extremely yummy!! five stars

These turned out great! I added 1/2 tsp ginger and 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and used freshly ground nutmeg. Delicious and I'm not sure what others may have done wrong, because with 30 minutes in the fridge the dough was perfect for my cookie press. four stars

These cookies were fast,easy and tasted Great. Baked them for a cookie swap. They were a hit. I will make them every year. I added more rum extract then called for to give them a little edge. five stars

Would not make this again.
I was very excited to make these cookies for a cookies exchange that I have tomorrow where I needed 10 dozen. I am disappointed to say the least. First, the dough has been impossible to work with....way too sticky to come out of my press...even after chilling for quite a while it won't release from the press. The recipe only made barely 40 cookies, NOT 60 as indicated...and as for the great flavor...mine taste completely bland, even after adding extra nutmeg and cinnamon. I've had much better luck with other spritz recipes and I should have stuck to those. two stars

Melt in your mouth. Wonderful flavor. Easy to handle and worked great with my cookie press. Just like I had as a kid from my German Grandma. five stars
