I don’t understand when it says to beat the butter with cream? Is that the cream of tartar? Because then it says to add that later on with the salt and stuff…?

These cookies are hard, though the texture is different from a roll-out sugar cookie.

These look gorgeous. I’m wondering, though. Are these soft cookies or hard cookies?

Debbie, it really depends. I've transported these cookies with this frosting by placing sheets of waxed paper in between the layers of cookies, but if the temperature is warm where you are...it might not work. This is a fairly soft frosting recipe that I also use for cakes/cupcakes. If you're worried, you could always use royal icing, which will dry to a hard finish. I suppose you could always refrigerate the cookies before transporting them, to harden the butter in the frosting (if you use the frosting recipe I posted). I would still do the waxed paper between layers of cookies.

These cookies are lovely! I’ll try this recipe for a fundraiser I’m doing this weekend. Thank you!

Just wondering, does the frosting get hard enough to be able to stack the cookies for transport?

Jillian, Michelle, Greg, Natalie, abowlofmush: Thank you!!!

lala: I used blue food coloring, but the blue color combined with the brown from the vanilla extract resulted in this sort of robins-egg shade of blue.

Natalie: I hope you enjoy these cookies. I’ve found they are perfect for parties because they are so easy to make and decorate, and they transport very well.

These are so lovely. Sometimes less decoration is more! I have to bake for a baby shower next week and I think this has been my inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Oh yes, I agree wholeheartedly. These cookies are indeed addictive. I found the recipe a couple of years ago on Allrecipes.com and everyone I’ve baked them for is hooked on them. Love your blog
