Oooh, I was looking for this sort of recipe! Question: do they spread a lot? I want to recreate those maple leaf shaped sandwich cookies you can buy in Canada, so I'm wondering if these will keep their shape if I use a cookie cutter. They sound really good :).
I don't remember them spreading much, but it's been a while since I made them. The next time I do, I'll be sure to leave a comment here about it.
UPDATE: I made these cookies again and tweaked the recipe a bit and modified it here on my site. The dough is really soft when you make it, so you wouldn't be able to roll it out in order to cut it into shapes as is. Maybe if you used real butter in the dough and chilled the dough for a while you could, but I'm not convinced. The cookies don't spread too much, but I think they do spread enough so that they wouldn't hold a shape from a cookied cutter. If you do try it out, please leave a comment letting me know how it worked. Thanks!
