Reviews
nothing special.
These taste good. I thought the dough was a little bit too stiff so maybe should cut the flour by 2-4 tablespoons and see or maybe my butter wasn’t soft enough. I chilled it overnight. Nice plain cookie.
My grandchildren ate them as fast as I could make them! Great recipe!
These cookies are so divine! I absolutely loved them and made them twice in a weeks' time. I have tried them by using the original recipe and also by adding the lemon extract and peel and both versions were excellent.
The name may be a little confusing. It's mainly a good butter cookie, but kind of a butter/sugar cookie combo which is very cool! Like that they're not as sugar-coated!
Beyond yummy! I added 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (more or less, whatever you want) and bam! You've got peanut butter cookies :D
I truly love a sugar cookie that is crisp and melts in your mouth! This is a result of using confectioner sugar in the recipe. Excellent cookie Gail Borczyk, Field Editr
These metlaways really do melt in your mouth. They taste much like a shortbread. Very nice cookie.
A fantastic, simple recipe - yielding 48 cookies/24 servings. The basic flavor is easy to do - switching the xtracts and using grated lemon peel. Etc.!
I have been making these cookies for years, and everyone loves them.
