These were absolutely to die for! I rolled them in a ball and pressed my thumb into them. It looked kind of ugly so I squirted some cream cheese icing into the hole (Cream Cheese Cookies). I ttok them to work for Christmas treat-day and they got the most praise and were gone first.

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!

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.
