These have become our absolute favorite Christmas cookie. I add almond flavoring to some batches & cinnamon to some making them very much like Snickerdoodles. They absolutely melt in your mouth. They are simple to make but taste like an intricate recipe.

very soft, very good. Burnt the first three doezen, but after watching the rest like a hawk, turned out good.

I love a good sugar cookie and thought these were the best. The texture is perfect and they do melt in your mouth.

I happened to be looking for cookie recipes and came upon this one. It is the exact one that my Mom always made at Christmas. She used red or green sugar for the top for a special touch. Now I make them at Christmas and always make sure to take her a dozen! This recipe is wonderful-gut!!

Looks wonderful-gut. That's Pennsylvania Dutch for wonderful-good. Pennsylvania Dutch is the language that many Amish use to communicate.

This recipe sure must be wonderful-gut. I'll have to try it some time

These cookies are excellent. They have a little crispness to them, and yet they melt in your mouth.
