too buttery. the taste of butter was overwhelming!

My husband loved these cookies. He is Mexican and he said they reminded him of the cookies sold in Mexico called "Pastisetas".

I really liked this recipe. And it really did melt right in my mouth, but I still felt like it was missing something, so I rolled the cookies in powdered sugar before dropping them on the baking sheet. It made them a bit more crispy, bit it really added something to them. They resembled gooey butter cookies.

My first batch of these cookies did not turn out too well. They were one large, thin sloppy unit. I do not blame the recipe, I understand that when trying a new recipe many varibles can effect the outcome. I think I added too much baking soda. I did not have a 1/8tsp measuring device, so I guessed--obviously wrong. The cookies rose and spred out, did not brown and tasted like gooey butter. I decided to modify the rest of the batch. I added 1/2 cup more flour and mixed it in until the dough was smooth, slightly stiff, but creamy. I rolled less than a teaspoon full of the dough between my palms to form small balls, placed the balls about two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet, pressed a wet fork into the cookies twice--once horizantally and once vertically, and baked the cookies for 11 minutes. They came out beautiful and tasted great. Each cookie was uniform in shape and golden brown on the edges. My second batch- I increased the flour and slightly decreased the sugar, used a very small pinch of baking soda, and baked again as described above. They will be a part of my families holiday feast. My ten year old son loves them, and he's quite the cookie critic. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I just finished baking these and they are awesome!! Rich buttery taste. They have the appearance of lace. Very thin but they do melt in your mouth. I rolled them in a ball and lightly flattened the first couple of batches but then I left them just in the ball stage and they still cooked and looked like the rest. THIS IS A KEEPER!!!

This is an AWESOME recipe!! I couldn't find it after we moved last Christmas and I searched and searched this site until I found it again!! DEFINATELY worth the time to find again!!!!

This cookie has a great taste but the appearance takes some work. Considering the quantity of butter in the recipe, there's no need to grease the cookie sheets. The cookies flatten considerably so I tried to ball them up to conteract the flatness and clean the cookie sheet after each use, but to no avail. If your guests care more about taste than appearance, this is a hit.

This recipe received glowing reviews, but it just didn't do it for me. The cookies were very flat and lacked sufficient flavor, though they did melt in the mouth, as promised. Also, they weren't very nice to look at. I always bake and freeze cookies so that I have something to offer guests, but these weren't attractive enough for company.

I love the buttery taste but find it a bit sweet. I added more flour to it after my 1st batch of cookies.

Very delicate and buttery - delicious. I needed to bake them a few minutes longer than called for b/c they were doughy in the middle otherwise. Also, the recipe states the yield as 72, but w/using the smallest Pampered Chef dough scooper, I got maybe 50 small cookies out of this recipe. 50 AWESOME small cookies!

Just finished making these and I swear I ate half a dozen while I pulled them out of the oven! These are so wonderful - just the right balance of buttery and sweet. Will be making these often!

I make alot of cookies and these are not only simple and easy to whip up but a major crowd favorite, I caught my niece licking the crumbs from the bottom of the tin.

just like the cookies my neighbor makes during the holidays. I followed the directions but i dont' understand how the dough could retain its shape while cooking by just scooping the dough by a spoon. I found that it helps if you roll them into balls first. Anyways a great crowd pleaser but it can't be healthy! =P

Five and a half stars! These are melt in your mouth delicious, just like the kind in my grammar school. Everyone loved the richness and texture, what a great and easy recipe.

oh my GAWWWD these are melt in your mouth delectable. This recipe is a KEEPER!!!

Pretty danged good!

Taste sooo good! The only down side is it was very difficult to mix them together... but when I tasted the finished product I realized it was worth my effort!

Delicious buttery flavor. Think my butter was too soft, causing them to spread too much...but still delicious!
