This is definitely a keeper recipe!! I made half the recipe since I thought it would be too much. I used a cookie press and my kids decorated it with icing. It was gobbled up as it was decorated. Thanks!

I don't know what I did wrong with this recipe but my cookies tasted like flour. I even tried adding more sugar and vanilla and it didn't seem to help much.

I have been looking for awhile for that "perfect" shortbread cookie recipe, and these came pretty close. I didn't bother with a cookie press since they were just for me and my hubby. Just rolled the dough in balls and flattened slightly. The dough is easy to work with, so if I make them again, I will go ahead and use a cookie press.

These are very sweet. If I made them again I would probably due 3/4 or 1/2 the sugar. But they were quite good, and very easy.

Do not let the lack of eggs deter you from making these luscious cookies. My advice would be while preparing the dough, treat it gently - cream your eggs and sugar, but stir your flour in a with a wooden spoon. I believe overmixing could cause a tough cookie. I rolled and cut some cookies, and some I rolled into balls and pressed them flat. Rolling/cutting worked better for me. (Sprinkled powdered sugar on my board and roller to prevent sticking) Also, I found that the tube end of a "wonder cup" (push thru measuring cup) works well as a cookie cutter. Drizzled a little chocolate over them and they were Delicious!

It's a basic recipe, but resulting in literally melt-in-your-mouth cookies. I jazzed it up a bit by mixing in about a 1/2 cup of orange zest and a 1/2 cup of chopped dried cranberries. So good!!!

NO! I tried this for my bake sale! I was very surprised when the recipe did NOT include any eggs! My mom said, Well, you gotta do what the recipe says! I tried it and did not care for it! All it did was burn the bottom of the cookie! I do NOT reccomend this cookie to anybody.

these cookies are not for rolling. i thought i could roll them but i just became frustrated after trying. i don't have a cookie press so i decided to roll the dough in balls. i then pressed the dough and left an indention for my strawberry preserves, baked them at least 15 minutes and they came out wonderfully delicious. they are really very soft. maybe i should bake them more to form a little crisp at the edges. 5 stars for the simplicity!

Great shortbread cookies!! I made them into little balls and then pressed down. Some I put chocolate kisses in the middle, YUM! Made about 4 dozen. Thanks for the recipe.

These are excellent cookies but I got about 56 small cookies instead of the 12 stated by the recipe. They're easy to make and delicious so they'll be among the first recipes I'll reach for when bringing something sweet.

I added 3/4 cup of chopped dried cranberries, 1/2 cup each of crushed walnuts and brazil nuts....YUMMMY! They stayed soft and are a HUGE hit with the family. Easy to roll out and cut w/cookie cutters. This one is definately a keeper!

I liked how these cookies tasted (although I was amazed at the volume of butter once I realized how much it called for); my husband wasn't as thrilled. But I am still glad I tried this one! I'm keeping it for the future!

Not to bad,very quick and easy. i did make some subsitutions like i use the smart balance spread and i used one cup of whole wheat flour. The recipe made 6 dozen rather than 2, which was ok because my family liked them. :) i will be making these again

I used margarine instead of butter and they turned out very well. I didn't find the dough to be crumbly at all, as some other reviewers reported. The cookies were light and melt in your mouth good. I'll definitely make them again!

I love this recipe! I chose this recipe because the list of ingredients was simple, and they turned out wonderfully. I had to make cookies for the office, and these were a tremendous hit! I spooned out the dough with a teaspoon, rolled it between my palms, and placed it on a greased cookie sheet. I took Hershey's kisses and pressed them into the center of the ball of dough on the sheet and baked them like that, they turned out both pretty and tasty! I also baked some without any embellishment, and they were great too. My husband loves shortbread cookies, and he said these were the some of the best cookies he'd ever had in his life!
