Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    A lovely, comforting cookie. Definitely a repeat.

    Simple and holiday classic. Also tried with some food dye for holiday flair!

    So cute, and they delight people. My three-year-old and I made these for a cookie challenge last year and everyone who received them loved them.

    These are so easy to make, look quite pretty, and the pearl sugar gives them a great crunch. They're very similar to Smitten Kitchen's confetti cookies (and I am slightly more partial toward that particular dough recipe, if I am planning ahead or happen to have cream cheese on hand). In my experience, however, they did not need 30 minutes in the oven. 20-25 was plenty, depending on whether you prefer a softer cookie or a crispier one. By 30 minutes in, they were getting dark around the edges.

    Delicious--a crisp cookie.
