great cookies...making them for years...to add another taste, I add cinnamon or colored sugar or sprinkles to xxx sugar before rolling. Some people just add the cinnamon to the recipe...depends on the taste.

I have been making this recipe with my family for years. It is a great recipe and turns out wonderfully. Very simple. Tigger5047... I do not recommend rolling these cookies in the powdered sugar first and then freezing... these cookies tend to absorb the powdered sugar if they are rolled early... I wouldn't even leave them in the fridge for too long (I had a friend do this, I did tell her not too, but the cookies had to be rolled again and didn't crack). But I think you could probably roll them, freeze them, and then try to roll them. You may need to let them soften a bit though, as the sugar may not stick if they are solidly frozen. Good luck in you experiments with it... I hope you like these!!!!
