These cookies are absolutely delicious. I've been making them for years. Definitely do as Amber suggests, and make these as refrigerator cookies, that is make logs, chill, then slice. So much easier than rolling out. Also, before baking, prick each cookie several times with a fork to prevent them from puffing up. Bake only until set, but not brown.
