This is an update on my earlier review. Two years ago, I made the recipe and found it too sweet. I also thought the corn syrup gave the cookies a strange artificial flavor. This time, I reduced the granulated sugar in the dough by 3 tablespoons and substituted clover honey for the corn syrup. I rolled the cookies in turbinado sugar, instead of sanding sugar, before baking and baked at 330 degrees for 19 minutes. (I reduced the temperature from the 350 degrees that the recipe calls for because honey causes baked goods to brown more quickly, and I increased the baking time because I think baking the cookies to a light golden brown makes them more flavorful.
Voila! With the changes mentioned above, the cookies are great, and I will make them regularly. The recipe is especially nice for gift-giving since the dough is very easy to handle and comes together quickly. If you don't want to use a stand mixer, the whole thing can be mixed in a food processor in just a few pulses.
