Lora Willing says
So glad I found this. I had done this Demo many years ago and absolutely loved it. I created many different varieties of cookies for the holidays as gifts. Since these were so simple and made so many it was the perfect gift and it became a tradition. My family loved all the different varieties and how simple it was. The kids even enjoyed helping. Ever since I moved I have lost things and my recipe box is one of the most important things. So thank you again for sharing these recipes.
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Lora! I’m so sorry to hear you lost your recipe box, but am so glad that you stumbled upon this easy recipe again to continue on your traditions! 🙂

Yes I have made these several times. ….always a favorite. This is how I am doing all of my cookies this year. Just made peanut butter & added a small pb chocolate chip to the top. Am making fun fetti next. As an amputee quick ^ easy works the best as it means shorter time in my w/c.

Hello! Good cookie, I used butter flavored Crisco, which I melted instead of the oil. I also tossed in a table of white vanilla. I will make these again, and I am strictly a scratch cook.
