Would not make this again.
I think the butter amount is wrong. I think it is supposed to be 1 stick of butter....NOT 1 CUP. They were way too greasy and did not bake well. I'm glad I tried the recipe before I gave them out! five stars

We made this in our classroom. It is a nice gift that the children can make and then take home for a gift to give to their family. It also encourages family time when they bake the cookies during break. five stars
