Excellent shortbread ccokies!! But be prepared when making these, the recipe says it makes 2 dozen and that's WAY off unless you're using some super **huge** cookie press! I get at least 6 dozen cookies out of one batch every time I make them!

They really do melt in your mouth. I was surprised that so few ingredients made such a tasty little cookie. This was my first try with a cookie press and this recipe worked wonderfully, even though the directions that came with the press said to use only their recipe.

After making the dough instead of using a cookie press or dropping by balls, I rolled the dough into four logs, wrapped the logs in waxed paper, placed in the fridge to harden, and then sliced in about 1/2" slices. Perfect and delicious. Sometimes I make the dough up to 3 days ahead of time then slice and bake when I need them. After baked I sprinkle with powder sugar. Makes a beauiful presentation.

I made a second batch using "orange" extract instead of the vanilla. They were fabulous!

These cookies melt in your mouth and taste as good or better than any other shortbread recipe I have used, but only used 4 ingredients. They were so easy and cheap to make, I am definately saving the recipe. Although they taste good plain, I added coconut to a second batch and was very pleased with the result!

Great cookie recipe- I, too, tried a batch with orange flavoring instead of vanilla. Both batches were sooo good. Great texture and taste. Thanks

This recipe was very easy and came out very good. But I think the proportions are wrong, I halved the recipe and still made at least 2 dozen. I also didn't have a cookie press, so I just rolled the dough into little balls, then flattened them on the cookie sheet. Next time I plan on dipping them in melted chocolate... mmmm..
