These are so Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Reply

I forgot about these cookies - my Mom made these cookies with pastel colored icing for baby showers or easter when I was growing up. They are sooooo good! The cookie almost reminds me of a pie crust, light and flaky. Thanks for the recipe from the past - I made them for christmas with red and green icing, and large red, clear and green crystal sugar - they made a terrific addition to my cookie trays! These are a real winner!!!Reply

KaDo, these were lovely soft cookies with a delicious pink icing. I used white sugar for dipping them in. I didn't have any problem with the dough, but I did add a little extra flour when rolling out. I picked the cookies up with a knife, it worked really well for me. Thanks for sharing these pretty cookies with us.Reply
