These were exactly what I was looking for, they truly melt right in your mouth!

These were the worst sugar cookies I have ever made. I did not care for the flavor and they were very dry. They did not melt in my mouth. I tried them plain, sugar on top then tried with frosting them. Nothing helped.

I am not big on sugar cookies and this recipe changed my mind!

Very good cookie. I made as directed and baked for 11 minutes. I left on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then cooled on rack. Yummy! Made for The Best of 2009 Cookbook Swap.
