I get big reviews when I make these. I sometimes substitute the vanilla extract with mint, strawberry, lemon, orange, and color the frosting to match the flavor. The result is cute little polka-dot cookies!

I couldnt even get my four year old to eat them and she LOVES any cookie. My sister tried them and was very blunt. EW. disaster. Out of a family of 5 these pleased no one. They dont melt in your mouth, they are crumbly and feel as though you are chewing melting sand. Im sorry to be so blunt. Just embarrassed.

Omg these cookies are the best. Instead of putting vanilla extract I put almond extract and I add a tad bit more powdered sugar. And for the frosting I add more milk and drizzle it over the cookies. DELECTABLY DELICIOUS!!!!

These were pretty good. They really do melt in your mouth, but I prefer a more crisp cookie, I guess. As you can see by my photo, I did not bother making them look neat and uniform, but it proves they can still look cute and presentable that way. I liked the way the sweetness of the icing offset the blander, more buttery cookie. A good balance.

These are good cookies and the frosting is awesome, it tastes great and holds its shape well. Just pipe it out of a bag and you won't have any trouble frosting the cookies. My only complaint was that I could really taste the corn starch. I think I'll up the flour to 1 1/4 c. and reduce the corn starch to 1/2 cup next time.

I tried this recipe and it have a heavy buttery taste and they are flaky and tend to crumble before they can "melt in your mouth". This was especially true with the frosting, the cookies tended to crumble when I tried to frost them. This was such a disappointment, the pictures were so cute, oh well!

Awesome- I used a little more vanilla than the recipe called for and we thought they were perfect. Very easy to make as well.

I like these cookies, but I love them the most when I substitute peppermint extract for the vanilla in the dough and in the frosting. Try it, you'll like it, too.

These cookies are delicious. The only problem that I had was with the icing. This combination does not harden. Add one teaspoon of corn syrup and I am told that will fix the problem. Cookies are not nearly as good without the icing but they do taste a like pecan sandies. I tried the cream cheese in the icing and that does add a nice flavor... *** UPDATE I made these cookies again last night and thought that I would roll the dough with flour on my hands and make them look nicer... what I got was a perfectly round cookie with a big dot of icing in the middle... The icing did harden but I left the cream cheese out and like it better with the extra flavor. The cookies tasted to floury also last night... They are definitely better if you go by the recipe and don't roll them into balls (I put a dent in the middle to hold the icing nice and neat but it works better if you just let them take their own shape!) I would suggest going by the original recipe (or adding pecans which makes them even more wonderful) and letting them cool before you put the icing on and don't make the icing to thin... I also made mine really dark green for Christmas but they look better a little more pastel colored...

I was a little scared to try this recipe, due to the mixed reviews, but I tried it anyway. It is the best melt away cookie recipe ever! I followed others adviced and flattened the cookies before baking using a flat bottom glass dipped in powder sugar. My cookies were perfect! I also used margarine instead of real butter and my food processor intead of a mixer. I will be making this cookies more often! My family and nighbors loved it. Thanks!

I tried these just following the recipe, and they turned out very salty and they were crumbly right out of the oven (not burnt by the way...). I am disappointed that I wasted so much butter and other materials.

We make these every year for Christmas, and I know how to make these even better! For the frosting, mix 3 oz. cream cheese with 1 c. powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, and two drops of food coloring (I usually do green). Flatten them with a cup covered with a cloth over it dipped in flour before baking. They shouldn't be golden when you take them out. They still look pretty white, and I let them cool on the cookie sheet before frosting them. Yum yum!

My all around favorite cookie of ALL TIME! Tips: I make the cookie dough and place it onto waxed paper, make into a log, and put it in the fridge for one hour... then I roll it into tsp size balls by hand (do not flatten), place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and then chill again for a bit. Then I bake for about 15 minutes... until golden. I let them cool a little while on the cookie sheet then I transfer them to a rack to cool. The frosting is EVERYTHING on this cookie! Pipe the frosting on with a piping bag and a large tip. I also use 2 TBS. of butter in mine. Sprinkles are nice too! Make sure to let the cookies sit overnight after frosted to let them cool... the frosting hardens a bit and helps hold this very fragile cookie together. EGG NOG VERSION: add 1/4 tsp. fresh grated nutmeg to the dough and 1/4 tsp if rum flavoring and another 1/4 tsp. of fresh nutmeg to the icing. YUMS!

I am a fan of melt in your mouth cookies or butter cookies. I made another version of MIYM cookies and they were wonderful and very easy to make. While the taste was good, the cookies fell apart easily. By the time, I was done transferring the cookies to the cookie sheet, most of them either broke apart or fell on the ground. Because of that issue alone, I was unable to put the butter cream on the cookies so we sprinkled powder sugar on top instead. Otherwise, they won't taste sweet at all. While I was not totally disappointed at the taste, I don't think I will be making it again. I like my old one that has fewer ingredients and simpler steps.

This is my family's favorite Christmas cookie! The only thing I do differently is use almond extract instead of vanilla. The taste is extraordinary! I also color the frosting pink and green for Christmas; they look beautiful on cookie trays!

The taste is okay but the cookies turned out flat. I was looking for a recipe that didn't include certain ingredients since i am out of the country and its harder to find some things... not terrible, however, i probably will not be making these again.
