These are awsome. My mom use to make these back in the 60's for my brothers and myself. She would divide the dough and put food color in them. Blue ones was my older brothers, green was my little brothers and red was mine. I made them a couple of weeks ago for the guys at my local coffee shop and they keep asking for more. Thanks for the recipe that I had lost over the years, it's great to have it back. 0(* @ *)0

The recipe is great as-is, but if you roll the balls of dough in cinnamon and sugar before baking it makes awesome snickerdoodle cookies. Gotta love a recipe that's versatile. Oh, and I substituted 1 whole egg for the 3 egg yolks and it worked just .

These cookies are awesome!! I took them to work and everybody went crazy over them. I also took this recipe, added a little cinnamon, rolled them in cinnamon/sugar mixture and they made an awesome snickerdoodle everybody loved also. For a quick icing, I took a tub of already made white frosting, popped it in the microwave for about 20 -30 seconds, depending on the consistency you want, and iced them. You can color the icing and/or add sprinkles if you want.

Wow. This sure helped my sugar cookie fix. I was craving sugar cookies and didn't want to take the time to roll out dough. This recipe was awesome. I didn't have cream of tartar but I wanted cookies now. The dough was crumbly so I added approximately 1 egg white to the mix. It was perfect. Cookies spread well and tasted delicious. Thanks!!!! Second batch, I rolled in sugar. Yum!!!

I made these for dessert at my last cousins night and they almost didn't make it until after dinner!! Everyone loved them and had a hard time eating just one!

Perfect drop sugar cookie!! I followed the recipe exactly and let the dough balls flatten in the oven as stated. My dough was crumbly at first but I kept mixing until the dough came together. I also dipped the balls in sugar before baking for extra sweetness. For the salt that some reviewers thought was missing, I used one stick of salted butter along with one stick of unsalted, because that's what I had on hand...worked fine!! My husband loved these!!!

I just made these cookies a few minutes ago. I substituted the 1/4 cup of sugar with agave instead of using all whiet sugar, and I accidently baked the cookies two minutes more then I should have and they are still soft and delicious. Great recipe!

I have been searching for this recipe for years!!! I am a sucker for those soft chewy sugar cookies from the mall, but no matter how many recipes I tried, none could measure up - until now! These were fantastic. Only change I made was in the sugar. I used 1 cup white and 1/4 cup brown sugar. I like the rich flavor the brown sugar brought to them. And, as usual I let my vanilla over-run the tsp just a bit. The flavor was to die for. And even two days later these cookies were still just as soft and chewy! Thank you sooo much for the recipe!

Thank you for a fantastic recipe!! I made a half batch, and added a little bit of lemon zest to the dough. I also flattened them with a sugar dipped fork. They came out really nice, ...slightly crisp... perfect!! I'm going to get myself another one (or two) right now! :)
