O my, O my, O my. These are delicious Perfectly moist, not too sugary, heaven in a cookie! Unfortunately, I liked them too much...it is a holiday, right?!! (Excuses, Excuses!) I definitely ate my fair share of these today, and every time I have made them in the past. This is the only sugar cookie I make anymore, and there is good reason for it! I can't wait to continue making these-forever! The frosting is a cream cheese frosting, and gets a perfect glaze when you spread it on. It makes them a look a little more professional! TRY THEM!!!

MMM these were so delicious, thanks for posting the recipe and sharing some of the cookies!
ReplyDeleteI made this recipe for shamrock cookies for St Patricks Day last night, but the frosting never hardened, so when I stacked them in a container to bring to work the bottom layers are stuck to the wax paper.
ReplyDeleteI would probably use a different frosting next time that I know will harden, but the cookies are delicious!
