Wonderfully easy recipe. Shortbread light and airy. Watch for the first sign of brown rim and take out of the oven to cool on rack. Can see how some would like with and without icing - make it both ways...but the iced version is very decadent and regal looking. I loaded in the jam...can fill without bubbling over. The almond extract made the recipe. Will be my special festivity cookie recipe.

Turned out great - very moist - didn't have yogurt, so used sour cream and a pinch more sugar to compensate.

This was my ideal cookie recipes and didn't change the ingredient list in the slightest - I have tried the others and wasn't as impressed by them. Although the 'big fat c. c. cookie' recipe elsewhere is ok, sometimes you don't want a mini cake in texture; it is too heavy. This was perfect. I made adult size - I left the dough in spoon drops and didn't flatten them ...10 minutes later they were crispy around the edge and chewy in the middle. For my toddler, so that she could hold the cookie in her smaller hand, I made small cookies by using half the batter and flattening the doughball out by half with a fork. They turned out more crispy than chewy... which is perfect for her. Overall this will be my number one c. c. cookie recipe!
