I just finished my first batch and these are wonderful!! They taste amazing and melt in your mouth! When I started mixing the ingredients I realized I didn't have any vanilla, I was afraid there wouldn't be enough flavor so I sprinkled in some cinnamon. Not only did the house smell wonderful as they were baking, but it added a nice hint of flavor! I will definitely make these again!

This is a great recipe. It was exactly what I was looking for. The cookies were easy to make and tasted just right. I used a dough hook to make the dough less crumbly and easier to work, and I sugared the surface I rolled it out on to make it less sticky.

Delicious! I didn't chill the dough & used almonds as a personal preference, but very easy, quick & excellent recipe! Will be adding these to my cookie baskets this Christmas.

This recipie is brilliant. The cookies just melt in your mouth. A little advice when making a shortbread like cookie try to incorporate as little air as possible. Use an electric mixer on low to whip the butter, vanilla and sifted sugar. Sift the flour in one cup at a time and MIX BY HAND gently with a spatula. this will give you a smooth dough that will not crumble. Wrap in cling film and REFRIDGERATE for at least an hour. The dough must be cold and firm before popping it into the oven.

Made these for a bridal shower and everyone was asking for the recipe when it was finished. They were delicious. The only issue I had was that the cookies got a little too brown on the bottom, but that could have have the pan I was cooking with. Next time I will not cook them for so long.

Delicious!! I subbed pecans for the walnuts (not a big walnut fan) and doubled the nuts, and they were sooo good! I made these for my daughter's birthday tea party and there were very few left at the end.

This was my first time making these cookies. I made these for a luncheon. I followed the recipe but rather than putting walnuts, I added pecans. I did not change anything else. The cookies turned out great!! Everybody loved them and they are a very nice compliment to any kind of tea. The dough itself will not be very sweet, but once you add the powdered sugar ( double dipped) that's what really brings out the flavor of the dough. This weekend for some friends I am baking another batch. A very tasty tea cookie!

It tastes good, but the only part i was confused with was the size of the cookies. Just in case anyone was wondering They should be about the size of a tablespoon.
