i have not iced them yet (i plan on using his royal icing at the bottom of that link to do them tomorrow - i'll follow up and take pics when i do), but these cookies turned out amazing! they are beautiful! and they are supa delicious.
a few tips based on my experience -
after reading the reviews, i went ahead and added a splash of vanilla. i think it really enhanced the flavor.
i know megan would disagree (), but i used the powdered sugar for rolling. the main reason i went that route (instead of rolling between parchment like megan does) is b/c the reviews said that the cookies weren't very sweet. i thought that the powdered sugar would add a little sweetness to them (and i think it did).
i bought a 1/4" wood dowel at michael's tonight to keep the cookies uniform. i think it made a BIG difference.
i baked them for 3 minutes, turned the tray and then finished with another 4 minutes. they are nice and light and even and just a touch of golden brown - exactly how i'd like for them to turn out.
they are hard to roll out at first - keep at it and you'll get there.
