"A single batch of these mouthwatering cookies is never enough," attests Doris Marshall of Strasburg, Pennsylvania. "I usually make one to give away and two more to keep at home. Adding ricotta cheese to the batter makes the morsels extra moist."—Doris Marshall, Strasburg, Pennsylvania

I made these today and they are so good! They are also very easy to make. I was a little worried before baking them because the batter was a little sticky but the cookies came out perfect are delicate in flavor and texture and are so good. They are delicious even without the frosting. I will add these to my cookie tray each year for sure!

Fabulous! Tried to make this type of cookie from a different recipe last year and they spread too much. This recipe, used with parchment paper, turned out perfectly. Nice and cakey, not too sweet. My kids, 5 and 7, were gobbling them up right out of the oven before I even put the icing on them. Used unsalted butter, lactose free milk, and colorless Wilton vanilla. Will definitely keep this on the Xmas cookie list.

WE MAKE THESE EVERY YEAR AND THEY ARE A HIT WITH EVERYONE ONLY THING I DID DIFFERENTLY WAS ADD ALMOND EXTRACT INSTEAD OF VANILLA ONLY TO THE COOKIE PORTION THO THESE ARE SO SOFT EVEN DAYS AFTER THEY WERE MADE

These are huge tradition in our family! I've been using this recipe for years!! My Dad doesn't even wait for them to cool- he just starts poppin' them in! These are not anything like a sugar cookie- not extremely sweet at all. Mild vanilla and soft and fluffy like a cake! We eat them with our coffee in the mornings and with milk at night!
