I made these this morning, and they were a huge hit at my house! Cut them out with Mickey Mouse shaped cutters, and my daughter thinks I'm a magic cookie-makin' machine! So yummy! But, for anyone who wants to use a cookie cutter with this recipe, keep extra flour on hand for the cutter, your hands, and the dough - otherwise, it doesn't work out.

Oh wow...these are fantastic. Do not flatten them. I am making 2 more batches of these now! -
I'm making some right now, I substituted peppermint extract in place of the vanilla, and added a layer of melted chocolate on top! -
Delicious! -
These are nice, I like the melt-in-the-mouth thing that made these cookies wonderful.
