This recipe is GREAT!! Thank you so much for sharing. I've been looking for a good recipe for my decorated cookies with no luck, until today. They are not really sweet which is perfect for the Royal icing to go on top. Again Thank you!!!!

Saved me! I had to make cookies in the shape of the state of Montana. Tried another recipe - super hard with unrecognizable Montanas. This recipe was so easy.

I'm sorry, I followed the recipe as is and these are bland. Yes, easy to work with but I tossed them in the trash. Simple Sugar Cookies on this site is much better.

Plus side is its very easy to work with. A great cookie to use with your ultra sweet frosting. Cons: the cookie by itself is nothing to write home about. I am still on the search for a cookie that has it all.

This recipe was really perfect. The only thing I changed was adding a little more Vanilla extract and a bit of Almond extract (just because of personal preference) I did not refrigerate it before rolling, and it was just fine! The cookies turned out absolutely beautiful!

I tried this recipe after an unsuccessful attempt at making cutout cookies. The cookie is not too sweet (which I like - if you prefer a really sweet cookie, this recipe is not for you), and the dough is very easy to handle. The bottoms were golden brown (I baked them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper), and the cookies held their shape very well. Be careful when cooking, as the edges will start to turn golden, but the tops of the cookies themselves do not brown. Mine were done at about 7 minutes at 350 degrees.

These are great! Wonderful recipe, easy to work. My daughter is the football team manager and they make cookies every Thursday - we used this recipe last night and it scored a touchdown! Even when we doubled the batch the ingredients weren't too costly for teenagers, the dough was easy to handle and for once the recipe actually made the amount of cookies it said it would.

This is an excellent recipe for cutout cookies. I made a double batch and needed to add some flour, as the recipe indicates you might need to. It was too sticky with the amount listed. Topped the cookies with "Royal Icing I" off the site.

Great cutout recipe. One of the best I've used. We frost the cookies w/ a powdered sugar frosting. I followed reviewers' advice to add lemon zest, almond extract and roll it out in a bit of powdered sugar. They were great w/ the frosting and very easy to work with.

I have made quite a few cutout cookies and this was absolutely the easist dough I have ever worked with! It never stuck to the rolling pin or my hands and the cookies baked up beautifully. The cookies are also durable and freeze well. Bravo for a great recipe!

I only used 3 1/2c flour and they were still too dry. They held their cutout shape well, but there was no flavor. I tried again with 2tsp. vanilla and 1/2tsp almond, + 1/4c. brown sugar and still too bland. I'll continue my search for perfect cutout cookie.

This was a difficult review to decide on. I would definitley give it a 5 for ease of working with the dough; it really had the best texture I've ever worked with for cutout cookies. As far as the flavor goes, I would give it a 3 or maybe even a two. I don't like my cookies to be too sweet, but these had very little flavor period. I bet the other reviewer had the right idea though, when they said it was the perfect cookie recipe to use with lots of icing. If you had a really rich icing, I think this would be the perfect cookie dough. And if I were to make cookies with kids, I would definitely use this recipe because of how easy the dough was to work with. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
