I found these cookies to be very soft. I had added 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla but next time I will add 2 tsp. as there is not much flavor. Easy to make and will make again.

    A light and fluffy cookie, not too sweet, just perfect. Flattened them with a potato masher and it gave them a nice design on top. Kids loved them. Will make again and again. Thanks for posting

    This is an easy, light, crispy cookie. And they look beautiful too. I experimented by using pure lemon or almond extract as well,which definitely gave them a nice flavor. I gave it four stars instead of five because I prefer a more dense, chewy cookie. If you like a crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth type cookie, this one's for you.
