These are fantastic! I make a double batch every year at Christmas and everyone loves them. Hint, dough needs to be well chilled, I usually make the dough let it chill in the fridge overnight, roll out on Press n Seal, brush with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, roll tightly and then wrap tightly with Press n Seal, place in freezer overnight then slice and bake. The smaller and tighter you roll the cookies the prettier they turn out.

I am married to a great guy and have three children. Two are in college and one is in high school. Besides cooking Zaar recipes, I love to read suspense novels and days at the beach (they go hand in hand in my opinion!). Recently we discovered a beach on the Atlantic that allows dogs, so we have been enjoying taking our two dogs for a romp in the waves.
I am totally addicted to 'Zaar and love all of the wonderful recipes I have found and made. Recently I have been low carbing it. I have found many of these wonderful recipes on 'Zaar that my family has really enjoyed - phew!
