"I have used this recipes for years and years! All my friends and family love these cookies. You do need to have some time to make them, they are not an easy cookie and its really two cookies in one so double the batch if you have a cookie swap. They are a show stopper and I make mine round with a mitten shape cut out of the middle. Very yummy!"
