The taste of these cookies is good, but it is by far the worst recipe to use cookie cutters with. The dough stuck to everything, the shapes from the cutters fell apart even when I used flour on the rolling pin and on the wax paper I used to roll the dough. I finally dropped them in spoonfuls on the cookie sheet, flattened them with a cup dipped in flour, and used color sprinkles on top. My daughter loved the taste but didn't get to have fun using cookie cutters.

Excellent butter cookie recipe! I used the Sugar Cookie frosting from this site for the frosting and the cookies were a hit. I made these for a Christmas cookie swap and topped with crushed candy canes. I will make these again. Thank you!

These butter cookies turned out absolutely fab! I decorated them with pecan nuts and sprinkles aswell as leaving some plain. Try dipping them in melted chocolate and letting them set!

These cookies are so soft and delicious. They are not too sweet which is a perfect compliment to the sugary Royal Icing that makes them so beautiful. The people who rated them as bad clearly must of made errors if their cookies turned out dry. They are anything but dry if they are cooked properly. Everybody I make these for LOVES

This is a great recipe. Cooks nicely. Does not PUFF like sugar cookies. To make gingerbread cutouts ( nobody here actually likes gingerbread but me) I knead cocoa powder into part of the dough to get that gingerbread color. (cinnamon would work too)They turned out perfect. I will use this recipe from now on.

Great Recipe but I made a couple additions of my own. I added a tsp of cinnamon & 1 tsp of almond extract. I also topped these cookies with the Pink Valentine's Frosting. With these additions they were *amazing* - you couldn't eat just one :)

This is a great recipe for the novice. First one I tried off this site (or ANY site for that matter) and it worked like a champ!

Perfect! My daughter's teacher asked me to bring 3 dozen heart-shaped cookies for Valentine's day for the kids to decorate. I wanted a cookie that would stand up to the frosting and sprinkles and this recipe was ideal. The taste was very nice -- just sweet enough. I will definitely make them again. Thanks to Ro for sharing the recipe.
