In spite of the delicious title, this is a slightly dry, not too sweet cookie. I was surprised to find that they taste like the recipe my mom always uses for cookie press cookies. But I tried to use cookie cutters after chilling the dough for hours- dough was too sticky. Then used the "press with a sugared glass" method, which worked. But "Pianolady" is correct- these are not cookies that you should take out of the oven slightly underdone. Let them get good and brown around the edges if you want any flavor!
