  1. Very nice cookie. Especially good if you're looking for something that's not overly sweet. It's important that your butter be room temperature and soft. Mine was too cold and I had trouble getting the egg to mix in properly.
     
  2. A very nice little cookie that can also be enjoyed, in moderation, by my diabetic husband. I did make the dough up ahead of time and froze it, defrosted in the fridge overnight and was ready to go.
     
  3. Very delish cookies Syd. I used gluten-free blended flour and added 1/2 teasponn xanthan gum. These cookies were wonderful
     
  4. I was looking for an addition to my Christmas cookie platter. These cookies are the best! They have become my husband's new favorite cookie.
     
  5. I love these cookies they have a lovely texture and a nice mix of ingredients in them.
