Really nice texture and lighly sweet taste. I omitted the nutmeg (personal preference) and used "Smart Balance Margarine" in place of the shortening (again, personal preference). I doubled the recipe since I was making for a large event. I had to add a smidge more flour, but not much. I got about 14 dozen, that's 7 dozen 1 1/2" cookies per recipe. Worked great. Thanks for a nice recipe.

Me and my youngest daughter made these today and they were wonderful. I substituted vegetable shortening (to keep them veggie) and cinnamon for the nutmeg. They were easy to make and very well behaved when rolling and cutting out into Halloween shapes. The children all loved them and we will definately be making them again. thank you.
