    Very Good
    These are very good shortbread cookies. I added a little pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract for a little extra flavor and they are delicious!! - 12/13/11

    Thank you for the review. These are very simple to make and ones my mother taught me as a young child and they became my 'signature' for family gatherings. My brothers would be devastated if I didn't bring them to them for the holidays.

    I like to use a cookie press, but I use butter, not margarine. - 12/23/08
