Not just a refrigerator cookie any more!

Whenever I change a recipe from a refrigerator cookie to cut out cookie, I'm very nervous, & rightly so!
Will the dough hold it's shape? Can this recipe make the transition seemlessly, without my having to adjust the ingredients? So many things could potentially go wrong. 

Well I'm happy to say that the Good Housekeeping's Citrus Slices has transitioned from a refrigerator cookie to a cutout cookie!


When I had originally tried this refrigerator cookie recipe, I noticed that the cookies didn't spread and I wondered, "Could this recipe be turned into a cut out cookie?"  To me, they tasted like Peek Freans' jam-centered cookies I'd had as a kid. (http://www.peekfreans.com/
So yummy!  I just didn't like the limitation of the shape due to forming a log. 

(I picked up this book on sale years ago at my local Save-On-Foods. Some of my favourite recipes are in it!)


Well, I'm very pleased that these have turned out so well as I'm hoping to use them for a March baby shower gift cookie. Just have to decide on plain or lemon icing now. :)
