This is now my kids' favorite sugar cookie (and mine!). I absolutely LOVE these and get great reviews whenever I take them anywhere. The frosting is absolutely delicious too - I've been temped to try it on a cake LOL.

They were easy to make but they tasted a little salty. I'm not sure why since they have very little salt in them.

I like these cookies without frosting. I would not call them a sugar cookie. I have renamed them Soft Almond Nutmeg Butter Cookies. Very Good! Thanks!

I found this recipe only made 4 dozen cookies dished out with a teaspoon. But, those 4 dozen were yummy.
