About
From Joy of baking. These keep in an airtight container for a week.
NOTES: The toughest part was rolling out the dough and cutting them; the texture wasn't easy to roll out and it broke often, so dust with flour if needed. The actual recipe says 8-10mins but my cookies took exactly 15mins to bake.
Yield:
20.0 cookies
