Scrumptious! One of the best butter cookies, the almond flavor is not overpowering and the recipe is as basic and easy as can be. Don't change a thing. They are fabulous exactly as posted.

Just like Yaiya used to make!! Soft and tender with a delicate buttery taste. I also reduced oven temp to 350 for 11min. I didn't have almond extract, so doubled up on the vanilla. I plan on dipping in melted choc and chopped almonds (as another user posted) - if there are any left! (I keep eating them!!). Great recipe and easy with ingredients on hand.

Very easy to make, exceptional flavor, fun! I made these for a cookie exchange because I was looking for something different, and homey- I was not disappointed. I rolled out my dough into little snakes and then twisted them together and formed into crescents before baking- sprinkled with powdered sugar they were beautiful! I also experimented with doing "thumbprint" cookies and then sprinkling those with white sugar and bruleeing the top. Very tasty, although slightly less pretty.

Awesome cookies! I'm taking to my Greek friend's Christmas party today and I'm SO proud!! I used a cookie press to make snowflakes and Christmas tree shapes and it was SO easy. While still warm, I dipped the tops in a cinnamon and sugar mix and they looked like they came from a bakery. Taste great, super easy...will make great gifts wrapped in pretty Christmas bags! Thanks so much!!!

I made these for my boyfriend's best friend for his birthday. The "S" shape was surprisingly easy to make. When I made them I dipped them in white chocolate and sprinkled coconut on them. They were amazing.

Great, simple recipe! I listened to other reviewers and doubled the almond extract and my cookies turned out flavorful without being overpowering. I did the "s" shape, and while it was easy to do I'll just use a cookie scoop next time and stamp them to make a pretty design. My batch "spread" more than the cookies in the photos, so I think I skimped on the flour, but they weren't totally flat and they still tasted wonderful! I loved the buttery taste and the slightly crisp edges. I will definitely make these again!
