The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 3.8 star rating.

This cookie tasted great! It was an instant hit with my family and I will probably make it again sometime soon. I added one teaspoon of vanilla extract like some of the other reviews seggested and I liked how it came out. One thing though; when you refrigerate the dough, it becomes really hard, so I seggest taking it out in advance and letting it cool to room temp. first.

Excellent recipe! The dough comes out very sticky, but do not add more flour! After refrigeration it comes out perfectly. I made that mistake once. Also added 1/2 tsp. vanilla which tasted lovely!

This recipe is excellent. I chopped up some pecans very fine and mixed them in with the dough. I also added a teaspoon or so of vanilla. Also, I prefer to use sugar on the bottom of the glass for flattening instead of flour. The cookies are very tasty: nice and buttery and not too sweet.

I screwed up the recipe... if you put half the amount of butter, it ends up tasting like lumpy scones. the cookies didnt spread, but on the bright side they don't taste bad. My rating is based on how the messed up batch tasted. will have to try this again some time.

Adding vanilla is a must in this recipe. Refrigerating overnight makes a better dough. We tried different "add ons", i.e. chocolate chips, cinnamon, powdered sugar, etc. and found that turning this recipe into a Pecan Sandie by adding chopped pecans to the batter, leaving the balls whole for baking and rolling in powdered sugar after baking was the best. By leaving these in a ball, the cookie was thicker and more cake like, so it would just be your own personal preference to do this.

The dough was easy to work with but the flavor was not good, maybe by adding more sugar. I know I won't be making them again.

This is a wonderful, melt-in-your-mouth recipe. I printed it two days ago, and I have already used it TWICE! I would suggest putting sugar on the bottom of the glass as well, it gives the cookies even more flavor! FANTASTIC JOB!

These cookies were very bland, very much like shortbread with nuts. There is so much butter in them that the edges and bottoms baked very dark, when usually cookies bake evenly in color. I won't bake these again.

This is a very good and easy recipe! I dipped my glass bottom in sugar instead of flour. It gives the cookie more of a sugar cookie taste. I also put a cherry on top of half the batch of cookies and on the other half I did the pecan. Definately a good recipe for the holidays and one to keep to use every year.

Although I found it a little sweet, my husband loved this cookie so it will be made again. However, I only got 2 dozen cookies from this recipe, not the 4 it says.
