My grandpa and I used to make these cookies – same recipe. I just lurves them! Over the years I’ve continued to make them and experiment with flavors and fillings since they’re so stupid simple. I make small wafers (1/8″ thick) and sandwich ganache between two baked cookies when they’ve cooled. Or I’ll press dough in to a mini muffin tin and fill with a wee bit of thick jam before baking. You can also add citrus zest or extracts to the creamed butter and sugar. They’re so versatile… just use your imagination.

I should add that I didn’t decorate the cookies with anything, just served them plain.

I made these cookies yesterday and they were a huge hit. Hubby kept eating them until there was none left! Even our little girl, who’s 22mths old, was gobbling them down. I actually used 1 cup of plain flour and 1-1/2 cups of self raising flour, only because I didn’t have enough plain flour. It didn’t effect the cookies at all. Very yummy! Thanks for sharing this recipe
