    Except for an additional 1/4 c sugar and 1/2 tsp of baking powder these are the same as my recipe. We often use lemon extract for a different flavor. Yum! - 12/21/10

    I love these cookies at Christmas. I make wreaths and decorate them with cut up candied green and red cherries, so it looks like holly. I made small cookies and only got 70. - 12/12/10

    These are wonderful! They press out nice and the dough is a nice consistency to work with.

    Instead of almond or vanilla, try Rum Extract - it takes these from good to great! - 2/11/09

    This is remarkably similar to my own spritz cookie recipe. These are great year-round and a wonderful treat! - 1/18/08
