It was a tradition to make these cookies with my grandmother every Christmas. Now our two daughters help me make them for the holidays.

I think the dough is a great consistency for using in a cookie press. The cookies have good flavor, too. At one point, the dough started "misbehaving". I chilled it for about 10 minutes, after which things worked well.

These are not dry if you make them right. I like to cook mine at the low end of the suggested time - they turn out great!
