I just wanted to make simple cookies that didn't require any ingredients that I didn't have in my house everyday. These were WONDERFUL, I'm extremely pleased.

I've tried to find a recipe close to the one made by my best friend's mother, and this definitely came the closest. I made a batch and a half, but I left out 1/2 cup of the flour. I also added 1/2 tsp of almond extract for a little extra flavor, and it was wonderful. No need to chill the dough, and since my cookie press was broken, I used a small scoop, and pressed the dough down slightly with wet fingers, which also helped the sugar and sprinkles to stick. And a 350 degree oven seemed to work just as well A wonderful recipe.

I loved this recipe.I used it with the kids to make cut out cookies for christmas. There was no problems at all and the kids did great...cookies baked perfectly. Not exceptionally buttery....or sweet but we alway decorate ours so they were perfect. I must add that when your press the cookies the flour added for them not to stick took some of the sweetness away. I will use this recipe again!

These cookies were really good. The dough really stuck to my hands but I don't think they chilled long enough. I put colored suger on them and they were even better I think. The best I have made so far... Thanks :-)

My family truly enjoyed these cookies. We used the dough in a cookie press and I didn't chill at first but had to by the 3rd sheet. This is definitely a recipe that we will keep.

This was so easy to make! I only chilled the dough for about 15 min. and the pan for 5 min. These were nice and soft! I melted chocolate kisses to dip them in and make them a little sweeter! I also substituted butter flavor crisco for regular butter. I'll definetly make these again this holiday season!

Was easy to make. I did not even chill the dough or the cookie sheets. I also just dropped them on the pan (no cutters, no rolling, no press) I would use this recipe again

I lost my "old faithful" spritz cookie recipe, but this is every bit as good. I didn't need to chill the dough, and I removed them from the oven at the first miniscule hint of browning (my family prefers soft cookies over crisp cookies). Thanks for sharing this!

I made these to bring to Thanksgiving and they went over well. The kids especially loved them! For my own taste I found them a little too crisp but with added cinnamon and decorative sugars they're pretty, quick and tasty. I'd use this receipe again. Thanks!

Excellent taste. My family inhaled them. The dough got a little hard for my 8-year-old to mix. The chilling time gave it the 4 stars in the quickness rating. Otherwise, it's a keeper!

I made these cookies again; only this time I added about 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the dough. I didn't chill it; I used a large scoop to drop them on the cookie sheet & baked them at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes. They turned out great! It added an extra "mmmmmm!" to an already good cookie! I can't keep the guys out of the cookie jar now!

Rolled dough into balls and then rolled in sugar(so the stamp wouldn't stick) and then stamped it with cookie stamp. Cookies looked and tasted good and dough was even easy for my 3 yr old to handle.

I was looking for a simple, basic butter cookie recipe for my press and this did the trick. The cookie dough worked beautifully with my press, the recipe was easy, and most importantly, the cookies are great - not too sweet and not too buttery - just right. We demolished the whole batch. Thanks.
