We love these cookies. They're great year-round. One slight difference: we use 2 t. real vanilla and 2 t. almond extract. It really brings out that yummy nutty flavor without being too sweet. I also love adding food coloring to them depending on the time of year (red & green at Christmastime, or yellow, pink, & purple for Easter!!).

These cookies were delicious. I found them almost too easy to make! I'm of mexican descent and brought these to a family get together and presented them as just "cookies". My great aunt said "these cookies remind me of polvorones!" I then was excited to tell her that thats what I was shooting for!!
Will definitely make again.

This was way easy and very good. I followed the directions but I had to handle these gingerly. They were a bit fragile. Will definitely do these again. Good recipe!
