This cookie has no flavor what so ever.
Not a good cookie at all. Don’t let the name deceive you.

I could not make the cookies – the dough was so sticky they were hard to roll & then I had an impossible time getting them off the wax paper. I did use flour to try and prevent sticking…but it did not help.
I’ve just had to throw the batter out & I am off to the store for more butter & then to find a new recipe for Valentine cut outs…
