"These are really good! Buttery and crispy just like the name suggests!Since these are refrigerator cookies, this is a very handy recipe. These can keep in the freezer for up to 6 months."

I made these the other day and my family just loved them. My DH thinks they are the greatest cookies I have made. I might try sprinkling with sugar before cooking. Definitely will be making these again. Think I will make a few batches and freeze for holiday season.

I gave this recipe 5 stars. I love this recipe these cookies are so good and easy. I got my copy of this recipe in school from home ec. class. The copy I have is slightly different. It calls for 3 cups flour, 1 Tsp salt, 2 eggs, and 1 1/2 Tsp vanilla. The recipe also calls for different things to mix-in and make different cookies. Cookie Tarts: Spoon 1 Tsp jelly or preserves onto half of the slices: top with remaining slices. Seal edges. Cut slits in tops so filling shows. About 3 1/2 dozen sandwich cookies. Crunchy Peanut Cookies: Substitute 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter for 1/2 cup of the margarine and packed brown sugar for the granulated sugar. Nut Cookies: Mix in 1/2 cup chopped blanched almonds or black walmarts with the flour. Orange-Almond Cookies: Mix in 1 Tbl grated orange peel with margarine and 1/2 cup chopped blanched almonds with the flour. Thanks for posting such a yummy recipe! Christine (internetnut)

These cookies are great, very easy to make and are buttery and crispy as the recipe stated. I only gave this recipe a four (4) because, if you have a beginner using this recipe, they will need to know to use unsalted butter, due to the recipe requires that you add salt or if you are using butter with salt, please cut back on the salt that you are adding.

I made these exactly as directed with one notable exception. I added a teaspoon of dried rosemary. The results were absolutely delicious - not too sweet, with a subtle rosemary flavor. They're really outstanding. Thanks for a wonderful recipe. UPDATE: I just made them again, with the addition of the rosemary, and they're better than I remember. Thank you so much for posting this outstanding recipe!!!

<a href="http://bp-grafix.net/sitebuilder"target=new><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i185/glittergus/icons/i.gif" border=0></a>I am a proud mother of three healthy boys aged 15,11 and 5. I'm originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh since July 2005.I've been collecting recipes since I was about 14 or 15 and been cooking and baking since then as well.I love all kinds of crafts also. In my spare time if I'm not in the kitchen; I crochet, make jewelry, bead, knit, sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas and quilt. I have a short attention span, so I have plenty of different craft choices when I get bored of doing something. Oh, and I also like to read, listen to music, fiddle with any electronic gadget, collect dvd's and watch them, and I'm an internetaholic! :-) I keep a craft blog at http://hobbyzu.blogspot.com and I sell my crocheted items and patterns at http://hobbyzu.com. I keep pretty busy and being self employed gives me more time to explore cooking! :-)I'm mostly interested in cook books featuring regular old home cooking and favorites. When I moved to the UK I had to get rid of my cookbook collection. I did keep all my Bermudian cookbooks, charity cookbooks and 'The Foods of Israel Today' and Better Homes and Gardens 'Hometown Favorites'. <a href="http://bp-grafix.net/sitebuilder"target=new><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i185/glittergus/icons/g5.gif" border=0></a>I am most passionate when it comes to my family and caring for them. Getting to feed them is an added bonus! Lucky for me, my boys are steadily growing pigs with bottomless pits for stomachs! lol :-)<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting">
