I have always loved window cookies, but instead of traditional short bread, I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and simply added minced, fresh basil.

How much basil do you put in the dough?
I minced 1/4 cup but it is totally up to you! Sorry for skipping a step!

This recipe is missing multiple steps and assumes too much knowledge on the part of the reader. I was keen to try it, but now I’m just discouraged.
