Photo may be seen at: www.annacia.com . I love these cookies! Made the recipe right down the line but didn't add any decoration. Mildly sweet and rich tasting, they are perfect with tea of coffee and have a lovely soft texture with a just a bit of firmer crust. Watch them in the oven! mine took only 7 mins!
