To me these cookies tasted pretty plain. An overall easy recipe to make, but I thought that they were missing something. Next time I might substitute lemon extract for the vanilla to give them more flavor. I also double the recipe to expedite my baking time. I wouldn't recommend it.

These cookies are great. They're not too sweet, and cut out fairly well. I had to chill my dough several times while cutting out shapes though. Guess I'll just have to be a little quicker in the future. :)

My sister and i made these just yesterday for valentines day and they came out great! They are very easy to make. They do not spread so u can put a lot on one pan.the dough is easy to work with! They have a simple taste, like a butter cookie. They are very good. Absolutely perfect with the cookie icing on this site. The cookie was not super sweet, but with the icing (which hardens to stackability) it gives it the perfect level of sweetness. Thanks for this recipe!! Very yummy! I like them even w/o icing. You could have them plain w/ tea or something. the cookie comes out white, pretty for decorating!

We always enjoy butter cookies after dinner with a good cup of coffee. These cookies were the best. I used just a bit more sugar, afterall, they are butter cookies not sugar, and used vanilla instead of almond extract and instead of chilling the dough, I made little balls and smashed them with the bottom of a sugared cup, they baked well, and my family loves them! Thank you for the very simple and GREAT recipe!

These were great. I was able to cut out immediately without refrigerating and that means a lot to me. As usual, I rolled out dough between two sheets of wax paper and then cut out the cookies. This saves adding lots of flour during the rolling and makes things a lot easier all around. Thanks for a great recipe!

I didn't think these tasted very good at all. My husband said he liked them though. I thought they tasted like flour. I used real butter too. I don't know maybe they need more sugar or something. When the dough is chilled it's pretty hard but it gets sticky real fast when you are working with it. It also doesn't make a whole lot of cookies. I'm not going to use this recipe again, and in the morning I'm going to go to the store to get more butter to make different cookies since I don't want to serve these to my family for Christmas Eve.

These were good. I did find that I had to chill the dough for about an hour and a half and it was still a bit difficult to roll out but a bit of extra kneading sorted that out. My daughter's boyfriend is chief taster in our house and he loved them. I made these yesterday and there's only about half a dozen left. Will definitely make again

This turnd out to be a really good cookie. I used this recipe for a bridal shower and wedding favors. I made them into large cookie lollipops cut into different shapes (wedding theme). Everyone loved them and could not stop talking about how good the cookies were. This recipe is a winner....very buttery. Thanks again.

These seem like they are missing something. All you can taste is margarine and that combined with the almond extract does not taste good to me. Maybe you need to use real butter.

These cookies were great! I made a triple batch and cut them out into halloween shapes. We frosted and decorated them and had enough for all my kids' classes and extras for at home. I rolled them out fairly thin (less than 1/4") but they were not too crunchy - just right. They held their shape great and didn't expand the way some cut-outs can. I will make these again for Christmas!

Made excellent cookies..very tasty! I did have to use a good bit of flour to keep the dough from sticking causing them to taste alittle floury. Next time I will dust with alittle powdered sugar in the flour!!
