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!

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.

A nice butter cookie recipe. It rolled out well and they held their shape while they were baking. Thanks!
