These were great! They made a lot of cookies too, I think I got up to 6 dozen from one batch. I used parchment paper so the cookies wouldn't stick, and rolled them in a mixture of cinnamon and colored sugar for a more festive look. I added a little bit more vanilla to the batter after the first batch because the cream of tartar was pretty strong to my taste, but after adding another tsp of vanilla they were perfect.

This was actually the second making these cookies. The first time they did not turn out good but i didn't follow the recipe so i gave them a second chance and instead of using all butter like i did the first time I broke down and bought some Crisco. OMG did that make the difference. These cookies are amazing and this will stay in my recipe box forever!
