I don't know what went wrong here. I followed the recipe, but added a little more sugar after reading some of the reviews. I refrigerated it overnight, and when it came time to roll out the dough and use the cookie cutters, I had a big mess on my hands. The dough was gooey and sticky and trying to make shapes with the cookie cutters was impossible. I finally managed to make six round cookies, which I baked as a test run to see if I wanted to bother working with the rest of the dough. I tasted one when it was finished, and it wasn't good. It tasted overwhelmingly of flour, and that's it. Despite the extra sugar I added, it still wasn't very sweet, it was just very bland. I decided I couldn't serve these (I was making them for my niece's grad party) and put the rest of the dough down the garbage disposal. I just can't understand why my dough ended up so sticky and unworkable when others seemed to have no trouble with it.

An easy and delicious butter cookie! I used vanilla instead of almond (usually goes over better with my family) and rolled the balls in sugar before flattening them.

I loved this recipe and it was perfect for teaching my two year old about cookies cutters and shape, we had such fun, thank you. It was very very tasty too.

I think it's great! Being as new as I am in the baking arena... I had no problem at all. These cookies were just great. I may add a little sugar next time; otherwise, they are delicious!

Absolutely delicious! I used vanilla extract instead of almond and they were still quite yummy. My family absolutely loved them. So much so that we're making them for New Year's Eve.

This recipe was amazing, and very easy to make. My kids helped me make and decorate these... big mistake - we ate half of them before we had a chance to put on icing! :)

This is the same recipe as Holiday Butter Cookies here. We have made them for the last couple generations in my family and Christmas wouldn't be the same without them. They hold a cookie cutter very well but not stamps. They must really be iced or else they are very bland. I use the powdered sugar/milk/vanilla mixture for my icing...although they don't look nearly as pretty as the picture above.

My brother wanted me to make raspberry tarts for him (lindzer tarts), and he specifically told me not to make anything too sweet. This recipe was perfect for the cookies. They came out great, and he wants me to make more for the upcoming Easter Holiday. Thank you for a great recipe Heidi!

If you like a very mild cookie, then this is the one for you. They weren't sweet enough for me. I used vanilla extract instead of almond (and used 3/4 tsp) and even added 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs on a whim. If I made these again I think I was add at least 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the mix.
