    I wanted these cookies to taste more like sugar/butter cookies. These tasted more like shortbread cookies. Don't get me wrong... I like shortbread. I guess I just expected a different consistency.Read more

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These were good for butter cookies! Soo rich and buttery, I couldn't eat more than 3 at a time! I think next time I will use... 1 stick less butter, because I was hoping they would be more sugar cookie like. They are really buttery, so be warned!Read more
