What an excellent recipe! Hanka, you sure are a great baker and you know how to teach others to bake delicious cookies, too. Your recipe was easy to follow and worked out beautifully. The dough was a dream to work with, came together quickly and baked into delicious cookies that everyone raved about. My only change was to use normal granulated sugar as I could not find powdered sugar. Maybe thats why my cookies spread a bit and didnt look as pretty as yours, but that didnt harm the taste at all and nobody really cared. :)<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this winner with us, its a buttery, sugary delight that I will make again.<br/>Made and reviewed for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap December 2011.
