TIP for squishing the cookies: My mother always used to grease the bottom of a water glass and use that to squish them down. I did that and it worked well - then you don't get the fork impressions. This cookie was the best recipe ever. I loved it. I took it to my son's school party and the teachers and parents all took some home. My husband ate about 30 in 2 days. I DID change the almond extract to 1/8 of what it asks for. I used the original 50 servings instead of the 25 it has been changed to and I WAS worried my little mixer would blow the motor. It is a very thick dough and if you just have a regular home mixer you might want to do only 25 at a time.

I used to love my mom's stroganoff. Now I don't use her recipe because this one is ten times better (sorry, mom). Not your old time white stroganoff. I did add a packet of onion soup. I decreased the water to one cup and actually used one more can of golden mushroom soup. I had ground beef in the freezer one day and tried it instead of the cubed beef. It tasted even better. Make sure you drain the grease if you do that. My brother insisted I make more next time so he can take it in his lunch, and my husband and I fight over the leftovers!

This was the best stroganoff I've ever has, including my grandmas! I did make a few changes though - I added the mushroom onion soup mix others suggested and I like mine creamier, so in addition to the 2 golden mushroom soups, I put in a cream of mushroom soup and more meat. It was GREAT!
