We used the roll method for these cookies and they turned out perfectly. I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (I like vanilla!) Thanks for posting this easy cookie recipe. The difficult part was rolling out the dough. Have dough at room temperature at least 30 minutes prior to rolling. Thanks, Parsley!
