These cookies are really cute! I had run out of butter but wanted to bake something sweet -- and these fit the bill perfectly! I had to add a bit more flour to get the dough workable, but other than that the cookies came out great. Beware... they are addictive since they're so light! :) Note: I live at an elevation of 7000 feet and did not need to make any changes to the recipe. Thank you for posting this unique cookie recipe; I enjoyed the story about your grandmother as well! :)))

I was a little disappointed in the way my attempt turned out. Maybe I flubbed up somewhere with ingredients or preparation. Anyway, my batch was sticky and hard to roll and, when finished, tasted bland and dry. I was glad that they used oil vs. margarine, shortening or butter but I doubt if I'll make them again.

We love these. They make great wedding favors. We make them into knots, glaze them and sprinkle them with crystal sanding sugar. Then we package them 2 in a box, tie it with a white ribbon and label it with a tag that says, "We tied the knot!" Great recipe, Cindy.

A basic bland cookie good for putting sprinkles or icing on. I chose this recipe because it uses oil instead of butter or trans-fat laden baking margarine. I found it took an extra cup of flour to even get it remotely stiff enough to shape and that it didn't really rise very much(maybe because of the extra flour). With no butter to cream it was a very quick dough to make and my 4 yr old was able to roll them in to "snakes" and after they were cooked I brushed on the glaze and she dipped them in sprinkles. We glaced and covered them with sprinkles and the kids loved them so I would definitely make them again.
