Comments
The Yankee Cook agrees: these cookies are delicious -- but she found the soft dough difficult to roll, even after chilling. So she tried putting some of it through a cookie press. Worked great. Then, being unfond of a lot of fuss, she re-chilled the remaining dough, formed two logs, and made refrigerator cookies.
