Yummy! I doubled the recipe and added about 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract and probably 1 1/2 cups of FINELY chopped walnuts. These were so easy to make and way too good! Thanks Tish for posting!

    The most favorite cookie for my DH and me. The simplicity and the delicate flavor makes this the most requested cookie in the house. Also, very easy and quick to make.

    Super recipe...have been making these for over 25 years but I roll them out and cut them with cookie cutters....chill dough first. You can vary the flavoring very easily. I have also used 1/2 of an 8 ounce pkg of cream cheese when I do not have a 3 ounce pkg. on hand and had no problem. Just be sure to keep dough chilled when rolling out. (I do half the dough at a time). Hope everyone enjoys these as much as my family has over the years.

    These remind me of whipped shortbread cookies with a bit of a different texture. They definitely need something as a topper, and the white chocolate chips I used didn't cut it; I'll use preserves next time. The recipe also didn't make 72 cookies, more like 30 and they weren't huge, but it was just enough for a small cookie exchange anyway. I'll probably try these again, but I'll leave them in for slightly longer than 15 minutes, since the outside had a nice toasted crispiness but the inside was still a little doughy.
