These cookies are perfect because they are not too sweet but still have a pretty good flavor. Sometimes I add some almond extract and they taste even better!

These were good. Not my favorite sugar cookie recipe but very good. I took them to a potluck and they all disapeared so they must have gone over well! Will definitely try again.

These turned out Great... everyone in my family loved them. I only put 1/2 cup shortening and the rest butter. I added a cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Also, added some cocoa to part of the batch and it also turned out great. Yum.. will use recipe again.

Easy, tasty and requires only ingredients you always have on hand - and cheap! Good for bake sales since you can afford to make lots. Colored sugar makes them pretty. Thanks.

FABULOUS! I did a drop cookie version of this and they came of excellent! They're soft and chewy and DELICIOUS! The only thing I'm going to do is add a 1/4 of a teaspoon of lemon extract because I like a hint of lemon...but I may decide I like the original recipe more! TRY THESE!

They really are tastless. All I could think of as I was eating them was how the taste of shortning is gross. I would recommend using butter instead and even adding ginger. :(

I make these cookies all the time for misc. reasons, and they always go over really well!! You can spice these cookies up for the holidays by adding some nutmeg, cinamon and ginger.

These cookies were okay in a pinch. I probably wouldn't make them for guests but they satisfied my cookie craving. The second batch I experimented with a chocolate candy bar. I just broke it up into pieces since I didn't have any chocolate chips. This improved the taste a little. I'll save this recipe since it was so easy and I always have the ingredients on hand.

My 12 year-old daughter made these by herself. Great for young cooks, she had to use margarine because we were out of shortening, then she got a littel impatient waiting for the dough to get workable, so she added about 1/3 cup of flour. They came out like cookie cakes, great under strawberries as a shortcake, or for ice cream sandwiches. The second batch was cookies, those were great too.

This cookie is flavorless but easy to make, I would add butter or margarine instead of just shortening. I am an avid cookie maker and I like to try new cookies, this one I did not add to my cook book- no flavor what so ever- but on the plus side it is easy. Maybe adding a spice like ginger or a flavor of peppemint or even chocolate chips might add something but as it stands- not good...Sorry

Easy! Easy! EASY!!! Just remember to chill the dough in wax paper for about 45 minutes for "bakery cookie" results!

This recipe was great! Easy and tasty. I found the dough to be pretty sticky, but after putting it the refridgerator for 1/2 an hour it was easier to work with. So soft and Yummy!, only complanit is there was not enough!

Now these were really good sugar cookies. My son loved helping me make them and they tasted great. I will definitely make this one again.

I really did not enjoy these cookies. My 3 year old thought they were great but he'll say that about any cookie. I found them flavorless, and I even added a touch more vanilla. I may try them again and use butter or marg. instead of the shortening.

These cookies are so easy to make and they have a wonderful buttery taste. I made a double batch and found the batter to be a bit sticky to work with, so I just added an extra 1/2 cup flour and they were perfect!! (this did not affect the taste) I also found that these cookies freeze nicely and still keep their lovely texture and flavor. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe.

These cookies were delicious and easy to make. I would reccommend flattenig each ball more than just "slightly". I found that pressing about as much as you would for peanut butter cookies worked well. But overall, this is a great recipe.

Didn't taste like my usual sugar cookies, but were good. The kids had fun sprinkling sugar on them.
