These were amazingly good! We only got 73 cookies out of the recipe, but had the dough been rolled out a little more expertly (ie, not by my 3 year old!) we would have gotten close to the full amount. They are yummy, easy and perfect with a cup of coffee. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe! - 12/11/10

THANK YOU!!! I have been looking for this cookie since it became a running plot point on "As The World Turns". I did make 2 alterations: Splenda over sugar & tub yogart spread over butter. It still works??? - 6/8/09

It is also traditional to put an almond sliver on each cookie before baking. - 12/16/10
