  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes (such as 2-inch card shapes). Whisk together remaining egg and the cream in a small bowl, and brush cookies with egg wash. Space 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

  • Bake until pale golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

These cookies are tasteless and bland, even with the bourbon. Even a glaze couldn't make these taste anything but like uncooked pie dough. This is the third time a Martha Stewart cookie recipe was horrible. Doesn't she test her recipes? Doesn't seem like it. Now I have 3 dozen tasteless cookies to dispose of. What a waste!

dough was a little sticky, so i added a few extra table spoons to it. used jack daniels whiskey, instead of standard bourbon. not bad. not extremely sweet.
