I think these were rather bland. I ended up adding some white chocolate chips to half of them and that seemed to make them better. I won't make these again though.

these cookies are freakin amazing! at first, we were unsure of what cream of tartar was, but we used the wonderful invention called the internet, and found out lots of useful tips and tricks. These cookies were also a lot of fun for me and my girls to make. we played games and such while we were putting the dough on the pan. These cookies just may possibly be the best thing ever, besides the ice on my neck, but cookies rock! and make sure you find out what cream of tartar is! ;)

These cookies are tasty but the picture is very misleading. They do not come out looking anything like the picture. The picture makes them look like they would be a chewy cookie but they aren't at all they are more like a shortbread type of cookie. I actually made two batches of the dough because I thought maybe I did something wrong the first time. Very frustrating. The family loved them though.

I made a few adaptations to these cookies. I used 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 cup oil, mostly because I had never used oil in cookie before and was nervous. I also added cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to the dough. I rolled my cookies in cinnamon sugar before baking. I liked that these cookies were light, not too sweet and not too rich. My husband wasn't a fan, but I ate these cookies six at a time! Which means I probably won't be making them again! :)

Added a dash or two of pumpkin pie spice and rolled into balls and coated with cinnamon and sugar. Yummy!

This is an amazing "sugar cookie" recipe! I'm not proud of it, but I'm a huge cookie dough eater and this one is SO good. It stays soft enough to scoop after refrigeration, making it perfect to cook a quick batch, or eat a spoonful! hehe. And it always gets tons of compliments!

I've been baking these cookies for years. They have never failed me. My recipe includes 1 tsp of salt, although I use only 1/2 tsp. I also press the cookies with a fork and sprinkle with sugar or sugar/cinnamon mix. I replace 1/3 to 1/2 of the sugars with Splenda without affecting the texture. And they're still yummy!

Crisp, lighter than shortbread cookies. Great with add ons (spices, choc. chips, jam...) A huge hit at my house! Best hot out of the oven but good for days.

These cookies were delicious. They were very light and fluffy from the powdered sugar, and not at all greasy like I expected from the 1 C. vegetable oil. I rolled the cookies in cinnamon-sugar prior to baking, and also added an extra 1/2 tsp. vanilla to the dough. The cookies hardened after a day or so, though.

I make these all the time and there are never any left! One thing I do to help 'sweeten' them up is roll them in sugar mixed with cinnamon to make snicker-doodles. They are excellent this way!

I've made these cookies a lot for my school (i'm a kindergarten teacher) and it's really good and very easy to make. But i've always taken a fork dipped in sugar to flatten them a bit, and give them a nice shape, then i put sprinkles on them (depending on the season, the colors change). My students love them!

A mix between a sugar cookie and a butter cookie, kind of crumbly but not too much. Not the greatest thing to look at but sure beats ALL the sugar cookie recipes I have made from this site.Tastes somewhat like Mantecaditos a yummy cookie from PR. I will try shaping them like mantecaditos and adding non pareils on top next time.
