I made these cookies and they are simply delightful! They were very simple and very good. I must have put them on the tray wrong though because they flattened. They were very thin and wafer like but still delicious!

Very tasty. Used another reviewers idea and rolled into a log and sliced dough. Worked out well. When cooled, I dipped rounds into dark chocolate and chopped walnuts for a pretty finish. Delicious too.

These are very good, and egg-free (food allergies in my family.) I did a few with strawberry jam in the center, and those were the best.

This is the best shortbread recipe and correct proportion of ingredients - I omit the salt. I have been making this recipe at Christmas for years and they are the first cookie gone. Recently won "Best in Show" and first place at the local fairs. Good with a pecan in the middle or a marischino cherry and melted dark chocolate drizzled over top - "Black Forest Shortbread".

My cookies looked very suspect but they tasted wonderful. The recipe is easy to follow and I would highly recommend it. Half way through the baking I mixed 3 tablespoons of vanilla & 4 tablespoons of water and spooned it over the top of each cookie.

I made these at Christmas and everyone loved them. I rolled and cut these cookies, I used powdered sugar to dust instead of flour. Thanks for this recipe, it is a keeper

Very good cookies. I rolled in sweetened coconut and then filled with red and green icing- - - very festive looking on your holiday cookie tray.

This cookie is very dry. I served them with hot coco to help wash down. I also sprinkled with sugar after baking.

This recipe is the most fun to make, the best tasting I've ever encountered, and the texture was perfect. I used my shiny insulated pans, and the clean up was easy. GREAT RECIPE! I recommend it everyone who wants something simple and very easy.

These are so light and buttery they just melt in your mouth. I used a cookies stamp to flatten slightly and imprints left beautiful impressions. Makes them just that much more special.

Based on the reviews here, I cut the amount of corn starch in half and these turned out pretty good. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla extract. There was still a slight floury or something taste to them, so maybe there was still a bit too much cornstarch or flour, but it was pretty subtle. I will use this recipe again and tweak it some more. I recommend baking them at a higher temperature or for longer though because mine didn't turn out brown enough for my taste. They were basically white with only the faintest golden color to the bottom.

I used this recipe for holiday gifts a few years ago, and my 25 year old brother liked them so much he was bartering with other people for theirs. When a plate of them were accidentally dropped on the floor, he ate them anyway. I like how easy the recipe is and how they seem to melt in your mouth.
