Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Really good! My daughters and I used a different recipe last year and they didn't hold their shape like these do. I also used a vanilla/almond combination which worked very well. This recipe will be a Christmas standard in our home for years to come. Thank you. I LOVE this site!

Finally, we found a recipe that works easily and is delicious too! My girls and I tried two others before we found this one. We finally found out why a cookie press is so much fun!

Delicious and easy! I needed a recipe to make with my 7 year old girls and use our manual cookie press for the first time. They really enjoyed the instant gratification (and we had all of the ingredients in the house).
