I gave this cookie 5 stars but my hubby says only a 4 1/2 because they aren't sweet enough for him. I will definitely use this recipe from now on, though I may tamper with the sweetness of it.

First off: I love this recipe. Mine tasted great (though I used 1/4 t. each almond and orange extracts) and was much easier to mix than I thought. I don't have a decent mixer (it overheats w/ cake batter!!!) so I mixed it my hand. It's easier than kneading bread dough, so no big deal for me. I am currently letting it chill out in my freezer (no time!!!) because it's very warm in NE right now. But I can't wait to roll it out and put it on my cake!!! One tip I do have: read all the reviews or at least most of them. I found it was easier to watch others' mistakes. And I always sift my ingredients. For frosting, I actually will sift no less than three times and for this one I did it 5 times. Good luck, and read the reviews before you start!!
