such a wonderful cookie, easy to make, almost full proof. i topped them with homemade icing, ........... 2 cups confectioners' sugar 3 1/2 tablespoons gingerbread coffee creamer 4 tablespoons butter.. 1.In a saucepan, over medium heat, heat coffee creamer and butter until butter is melted. Stir in the confectioners' sugar. Remove from heat, and beat with an electric mixer until thick and smooth. pipe into a bag and top the cookies. if it thickens up just put the bag into the microwave for 10 seconds.( remove the metal decorating tip first lol ) and I used Parchment paper on my cookie sheets.

Awesome Cookie recipe! I did adjust the oil to 3/4 cup because 1 cup of oil and 2 sticks of butter seemed like a lot! They turned out great. I went ahead and drizzled chocolate on top and they are perfect!

These are the same cookies my grandma makes. Though she smashes them with a fork and sprinkles them with sugar before she bakes them. The fork lines hold the sugar on better and makes them a little less plain.

My mom started making these cookies around Christmas time 40+ years ago. I now make them every year and have been for 22 years. They are so delicious, melt in your mouth and very pretty too with different colored sugar on them. Truly a keeper!

These were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly as written except I added 1 cup of skor toffee bits, and the dough was a bit crumbly so I rolled it into 1 inch balls and flattened slightly. They tasted buttery a little like shortbread, and not too sweet. Perfect anytime cookie!

I thought these were pretty good. They taste like a combination of a sugar cookie and a shortbread cookie. I made a 1/2 recipe to try them out and it made plenty, over 30 cookies. For some reason they don't taste as good the next day as fresh, and break easy, so I would consider that when calculating how much to make. I used salted butter as I always do, although it didn't specify. I am glad I did because a few people said they felt the cookies were missing salt. I baked them on parchment paper instead of the greased sheet and scooped them with a 1 Tblsp. cookie scoop. I thought they looked just like the Allrecipes photo for the recipe, thanks.

Though this cookie looked pretty and held its shape through the baking process, I did not find the taste or texture likable. Perhaps it was the confectioner's sugar and oil as those were the things I tasted. After baking one batch I added 1/2 tsp of vanilla looking for flavor but that didn't remedy the blandness.
