They are extremely buttery, crumbly and practically melt in the mouth. They are similar to Danish butter cookies and perfect for any holidays: Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, or any day of the year! There's no leavening, so the texture is closer to a shortbread cookie. The dough is like my spritz cookies, but with a little milk to make it pipe-able. Make sure it's properly softened to room temperature before beginning.
