These cookies get two thumbs WAY up! Every time I bake these I do a double batch because EVERYONE wants some! The dough is soft and cake-y and subtly sweet while the frosting is creamy and sweet. The only modification I make is to add a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter and the frosting and MAN do people go crazy for the almond! The response I always get is, "What's that flavor...I can't quite put my finger on it but it's AMAZING!" It's not over-powering, just a little something different. These are PERFECT cookie-cutter cookies, but do be sure to chill the dough for at LEAST a couple hours (I do mine overnight.) I also bake mine only 10 minutes and they are perfectly soft yet strong enough to support PLENTY of frosting. These are a BIG winner in my book! I have given this recipe to at least 12 different people and they keep passing it on...I love it!
