These cookies make a shortbread type of cookie. As a child, my Great Aunt Lil would make these for our Channukah cookie tray. They were my brother’s favorite cookies.
They aren’t as sweet as many other cookies, and may appeal more to adults than the kids.
I originally pasted this recipe to another recipe site, and the one person who tried it, Twissis (see her picture below), gave them a 5 star rating and handed them out as Christmas presents to family.
