“Was an easy recipe to follow, and the taste is heavenly!! I found the texture much different to my Christmas shortbreads which I don't roll. It was still a good cookie, not over baked just crisper than I am used to! And the glaze was just what was needed for t” — a cook, 4.0★
“Made as thumbprint cookies for convenience. Made a 2" diameter log of dough. Put in fridge to chill. I sliced into 1/3" rounds. After 5 minutes in oven, indented the middle of each cookie with a fork (to hold frosting later). Not as pretty as the picture, ” — a cook, 5.0★
