Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating I made these cookies with my 5 year old daughter and they were great. They are easy yet very sturdy and tasted great. We used almond and vanilla extracts in lieu of the peppermint and decorated them with coloured sugar for Valentine's day. My new go-to roll out sugar cookie recipe. Posted February 17, 2015 by Paula R. Rating I made this recipe & skipped the egg yolk paint. I dipped half of the cookie in chocolate like another similar recipe listed. They were delicious!
