  1. Very yummy! This is a crisp, flat butter cookie with a nice butter and almond flavor. It made exactly 3 dozen cookie cutter cookies for me. Thank you!
     
  2. This recipe was extremely easy and delicious! I made Easter cookies (ducks, chicks and bunnies!) and iced them with "royal icing" (Recipe: 1/8 cup meringue powder, 1/4 cup ice water--mix together to dissolve--then beat in 1 1/2 to 2 cups powdered sugar. I added a little almond flavoring; tint to desired color). The cookies were a big hit! I would definitely use this recipe again.
     
  3. A nice butter cookie recipe. It rolled out well and they held their shape while they were baking. Thanks!
     
  4. These cookies are great! Instead of sugar I used packed brown sugar and instead of almond extract I used vanilla extract. The cookies came out good. The dough was a little sticky.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
