We made so many of these cookies years ago so it was fun to make them again. The dough is easy to tint for holidays colors but I just opted to put colored sugar on them. I also suggest keeping them small as they don't look as pretty when the shape is distorted. As for taste, they are not too sweet, sort of like a shortbread. They also do not spread while cooking so you can fit many on one tray. With the electric press it takes a few cookies to get the hang of how long to push the trigger to get a uniform size. Just take off the rejects and use the dough in the next filling of the press. This is a classic!!!!
SO MUCH FUN! And just because they looked fun, I was more excited to eat them! Pretty classic shortbread-lite taste that makes the cookies a refreshing treat with almost anything - tea, hot coco, wine, a nice dark chocolate stout... Mmmmm!
