"I just made these cookies last night. I'm giving it 5-stars for the following reasons:

1) The flavor is outstanding: Many of the reviews said that these cookies were flavorless, etc. I disagree completely. The cookie shouldn't taste like an Andy's Candy, instead, it has subtle flavors, but they're all present.

2) They're beautiful: Mine have a few more swirls in them than the picture does, but the presentation of them is lovely.

3) These aren't easy to make, but I think that the whole point of making some fancy sugar cookies is to make something that you don't do every day. So, while it took me about an hour just to make the dough, the end result is worth it.
