Reviews
I really did love these cookies except it needs a bit of improvement. One of the other reviews said it was a bit dry I have to agree. I looked up how to fix it and I found that if I substituted to egg yolk for the whole egg it might give me the moistness I was looking for. I will have to try it and revise my review. I actually liked how they were not that sweet considering I did not do the icing. I put a dab of jam on each one of the cookies and sprinkled them with powdered sugar. I did use the cookie press. Baked for 7 mins. I did not see where you could post a photo or I would’ve posted mine.

These taste just like the Santa cookies mom made 40 years ago. The best of the best. Thank you!!
Very tasty, but a bit dry. Not sure how to fix it.
Not too sweet and reminds me of when mom used to make butter cookies. Making for our family treat on Valentines day.

Stayed soft, great flavor. I also used 3C powdered sugar and 3T milk for icing.
this is just i was looking for thank you.
I literally just made this recipe and i have a few things to say. It was a pain in the butt. I used gluten free flour so it was a bit grainy but i adde an egg an its all good now. I would suggest 6minutes in the oven because inset my timer for 7 and a minute before it went off smoke was coming out of my oven and i was a little freaked out but they were just fine. For the frosting i already knew that recipe and u shouldnt put in so much sugar reduce it by a cup. And 3 tbs is enough for the milk. Other wise its great i just need to put the frosting on now! I would do this recipe again!
