  1. Extremely easy, but not being a fan of margarine, I swapped an equal amount of butter for the margarine. It should have been fine, and perhaps the end result was the way it should have been, but the cookies seemed rather oily, and also tended to break fairly easily.
     
  2. These are a lot quicker than the cut-out sugar cookies I usually make!! Instead of rolling them into a ball I used my cookie scoop and flattened them with the bottom of a glass I dipped in flour. They are very light and tasty!! I made 2 dozen and froze the rest of the dough in 2 containers so I can make a couple more batches later (there is only 3 in my family we don't need 60 cookies at one time!) Made for Spring 2009 PAC.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I am a high school teacher in Omaha, Nebraska. My love for cooking started at a young age when I used to bake goodies for my father and his coworkers. When I got out on my own, I starting cooking for friends (especially my single male friends who were living on frozen pizza). <br /><br />For years now, my friends and family wait all year for my Christmas bake-a-thon. I spend two days every year making a plethora of cookies, bars, and snack mixes to give as gifts. <br /><br />I love to cook because food is the one thing that brings all people together (everyone has to eat sometime!) My husband to be teases me because sometimes he does not even get through his first bite before I am asking him if he likes it.</p>
