How have I never reviewed this recipe, and why aren't there more 5 star reviews? I make these every year for Christmas for the past few years, and sometimes in between, too! They're just perfect - the balance of flavors is great, and I like chewy cookies, so I don't overbake them. Plus the convenience of being able to keep the logs of dough in the freezer and slice and bake as needed is wonderful. My first batch of these this year mostly went as give-aways to various projects, so my kids were begging me to make more. You should have seen how happy my son was yesterday when I told him on the way home from the bus stop that I had finally gotten them made!
