I reduced this recipe down to 12 servings, and used a non stick cookie sheet instead of the parchment paper. I cooked them for 15 minutes and they turned out great.

Delicious and so easy! I made these a little different than stated, because I wanted to use them as a base for a cookie bar I was experimenting around with. I halved the recipe and pressed it into the bottom of a parchment lined 11x7 pan instead of rolling it out and then baked as directed. Thanks for a great recipe, Mirj!

1lb of butter would be 16oz, half of that is 8oz...so 1/2lb also equals 1 cup. 1 cup butter!

Delicious, delightful, delicate cookies. I added 1/4 t. salt just because I like a little salt with my sweet. I scooped them with my small cookie scoop, made a dent with my thumb, and filled with raspberry perserves. My whole family loved them.

Well as far as I can say right now is that is was easy cause its in the oven right now. I also added banana extract to the recipe. So lets see how it tastes, I can smell it already!It looks good and mmmm it tastes good too. And after I baked it the pan was so clean I didnt have to wash it! Thanx!

YUM! My 11-year-old sister made these, and she says they are fabulous! We rolled the dough into a log and then sliced it into little disks; this yields a few more cookies, so we are sharing them with a neighbor Thanks for the recipe. Emily and Val

I love this recipe! It saved me from the in-laws this Christmas. They loved it! It's so easy to make and can be done in no time. I suggest using a fork to poke holes in the dough before you cook it if you like crisper cookies though.
