Would make this again.
My Mother makes these every year, delicious, the hardest part is getting them to "cap" any suggestions?

Absolutely wonderful.....but you need to use Extra large eggs, and I don't mean the ones you find at the grocery store. Best way to find them is at a Dairy or egg farm.

Would not make this again.
this recipe is awful. There is no way you can mix these ingredients and not have to use a cement mixer to incorporate the flour. I wouldn't EVER make this again--and I'm part german!!!!!!

Previously I used a recipe similar to this one but I like the simplicity of this one.
I love this cookie but usually have to plan ahead to make it because of the beating time and the overnight resting. It was our family favorite. The first time I made the older recipe I used a hand mixer and proceeded to burn out the motor.(That was years and years ago.)Now I use a heavy duty mixer just in case.
