    Absolutely delicious! I've been making these for 9 years now and have never had a bad batch! You just need to chill the dough for an hour or so first. The buttercream frosting is delicious, but I usually use a royal icing on these. Excellent!

    I made these, and used a 4 oz baby food jar as a cookie cutter. These were so amazing, I had to distract myself from eating the raw dough. On top of that, I used a 1/4 teaspoon, and made an intent in the center of the raw cookie. I then used the same teaspoon, and added nutella to the center. Positively divine!

    This is an extremely easy recipe to follow and I make it about once a month. My husband is in the Army and he takes them to work with him and shares them with his fellow soldiers. They all love them!

    I bake mine for about 12 minutes though as I found 20 minutes was too long cause the cookies are so thin. I use wax paper to line the cookie sheet and I have to run the vent fan above the stove while baking. I guess the the wax burns off as the cookies are baking but it doesn't take away from the way the cookies taste or anything.

    Also, the dough rolls out better after it has been chilled. So I cut it into 4 sections before I stick it in the fridge. After its been chilled, be sure not to put too much flour on the counter or rolling pin as it will cause the dough to crack when it rolls out and while its baking.

    I use these cookies at Christmas as the base for my royal-iced snowflakes. They're not excellent by themselves but with royal icing they're just about perfect. Chilling this dough is mandatory before trying to work with it. I've used this recipe for years and I get a very consistent outcome. That's really important during the holidays when time is of the essence.

    I had to substitute 1/3 cup of brown sugar, to replace the remaining white sugar I was out of. I don't think these cookies could have turned out more delicious. Melt in your mouth!

    We make these as Christmas cookies every year, and the combo of the really rich butter cookie part with the decadent cream cheese frosting makes for a pretty intense cookie. They are very fun to decorate and taste great; I had a really hard time finding a recipe that did both, and was thrilled when this came out so great.
