i was pretty disappointed in this recipe...everyone gave it such high reviews, yet most people said they had to add an egg and extra moisture. i found that i had to add an egg and extra milk and they still did not taste fabulous. : (

This recipe is replacing my old standard for sugar cookies. They were delicious and I have had many request for the recipe.

Instead of milk I added 1 cup sour cream. I also increased the vanilla to 1 Tbls. instead of 1 tsp. I added cinnamon to the roll out flour. I did not have to chill at all. these rolled out great.

I loved this recipe and the cookies tasted great! With so little liquid initially and so much flour, the dough looked like finely crushed graham cracker. Then adding milk, a little at a time, got the dough to a consistancy I liked. Sort of clay-like, somewhat stiff. It was super easy to roll, GREAT for cutouts. I loved the idea to use wax paper under and on top. The cookies cooked up perfectly. The kids and I like soft cookies, while hubby likes more crunch. We timed baking accordingly and was great both ways. Yes, it's not that sweet - but that's what makes this an awesome icing cookie. You don't get bowled over by the sweetness. AND it's not as hi fat as other cookies. A keeper? You bet!!

My family loves this recipe! I make these cookies for every holiday. I did have to add more milk and an egg for the dough to form but it was well worth it. The icing is wonderful and enhances the taste of the cookie even more. These cookies always come out very soft and scrumptious.

I also added an egg to the batter as other reviewers did, and had to add more milk. The dough was almost as crumbly as a graham cracker pie crust w/o them! I didn't cut them out w/ cutters, I just sliced them after refrigeration to make it easier and faster than cut-outs. I wanted them rounded for egg shapes for easter.The cookies tasted good, not very sweet, but a good flavor. Goes well with any frosting...adds more sweetness. I saved some plain to have with coffe. yum

I liked that these cookies were not very sweet, but they were too much like eating biscuits.

I followed the recipe and found I had to add more milk in order for it to become doughy because of the excess amount of flour included. I don't think I'll use this one again.

My nine year old son is a budding chef who never likes to follow recipes. He made these cookies AWESOME! Best cookies I've ever had in my mouth! He added an egg, more milk, some peanut butter, marshmallow creme, and dark chocolate chunks until the dough was soft. He didn't make the frosting and didn't chill them first. They are unbelievable!!! We made 36 cookies.

NOT MY FAVORITE RECIPE FOR COOKIES....TO MUCH DRY INGREDIENTS AND NOT ENOUGH WET....THEY WERE OK...MY 2 YEAR OLD LIKES EM....BUT WHAT 2 YR OLD WOULDNT...HAHA...IT IS A COOKIE!! BUT..I DONT THINK I WILL MAKE THESE AGAIN!!

Had to add extra milk, but they turned out great. A big hit. :) I didn't have cookie cutters or a rolling pin, but I improvised with cleverly used cups and they turned out great. :) The icing seems to have different consistency each time I make it, though....

EXCELLENT !

This recipe was GREAT.. I just had to add extra milk, but it's the best. I used this recipe for our family christmas cut out cookies this year, and everyone loved them. It's nice that this recipe doesn't call for eggs. I will be using this recipe all the time.

This is an okay recipe. Definately needed more milk, but with a lot of handling, and some flour these cookies actually rolled out pretty easily. I wish I had added an egg. They look a little funny and have a strange texture when done, but are ok tasting. I think I will be finding a different receipe for next year.

This was the worst cookie recipe I've ever tried. It quickly became obvious that it needed a lot more wet ingredients and a lot less flour. I followed the recipe precisely and it never formed into workable dough. I added more milk and an egg and it still did not ever look like dough. I chilled it thinking maybe it would help but it didn't. I could not make cut out cookies because the dough was not right. I tried to make drop cookies and ended up feeding the results to the dogs. When I scraped dried on cookies off my pan, the center was literally dry powder. I have no idea how the others successfully used this recipe.

A very good recipe for cut-out cookies, i did have to add more milk to the dough. I will make them again!

Definitely add the egg to make the dough. The cookies were really good. I brought them to the office and received many compliments.

Great taste & easy, but I too had to add an egg and I found these cookies too soft for cut out cookies. When I would pick up my cookie it would break. maybe it would work better for small cookies.
