they aren't that hard to make and they taste and look good
next time I am making cookies those are the first I,m making
These were tasty but the prep time was quick long, a lot of work for such a small cookie but they look very festive.
I made these, but was running out of time, as we all do around the holidays, so I used a snowflake cookie cutter and they come out amazing!! Lots of compliments , I sprinkled them with red & green sugar before baking. I also add a 1/2 teaspoon more almond extract.
Much easier to make than I anticipated and I received many compliments.
These are great for children to make and bake with supervision, and they are tasty and melt in your mouth.
