I made this recipe with my 11 year old granddaughter. We had problems with this recipe I think because our cookie cutter was large--4 1/2 inches--we had problems with our cookies falling off the dowels because they were so heavy. Also, I used "real" butter and next time I think I'll omit the butter flavoring. We'll try it again with a smaller cookie cutter.

These cookies were delicious. They had lots of flavor and a really nice texture. I made these for the 4th of July. I cut out flags and stars and set them in a metal holder and used flag material to cover the oasis. What a beautiful center pice it made and everyone loved eating them off the sticks....even the kids. I was afraid that they would break during transportation to the party but they were very sturdy. I soaked the bamboo skewers in water before sticking them into the cookies and baking them. Thanks for the recipe. They were a lot of fun!!!!

These were great cookies. We made them for Valentine's Day. Tender and chewy. We didn't get quite as many cookies as the recipe states but we were using a 3 inch heart shaped cutter and got only about 30 cookies. A keeper though!

Hands-down the best sugar cookie recipe ever. Didn't have butter flavoring. per some of the suggestions, I substituted with 1/2 tsp more vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract. Haven't tasted cookies yet (they are cooling) but dough was so good that was what I had for breakfast!

I used these to make Easter Cookies. Huge hit in my house!!!! My 17 month old yells for "cook-cook" Held up well on the stick. I let them cool and iced them not one broke! Make sure you make them thick enough

These are pretty good, but they're very dense. The butter extract gives them a nice flavor so if you don't have it maybe add some almond extract or additional vanilla instead. Very easy to frost and very sturdy and easy to take somewhere without breaking.

Not only did this recipe taste wonderful, the cookies stood up to the kids' decorating fun. And, this recipe also divides fabulously. Will do this again.

This was my first attempt at cut-out cookies. They were super easy and SO GOOD! Very sturdy, my 2 yr old helped me frost them and didn't break one! After I put them in a tupperware they moistened up nicely and were soft and delicious! I didn't have any butter extract so added almond in it's place and got many compliments on the flavor it added. Looking forward to all holidays to make this cookie again.

This recipe is fantastic! The cookies are sweet, but not overly so, and have a great consistency. I wanted to make cut-outs and usually end up with broken cookies that don't survive. These survived being mailed across the country, and arrived in one piece! This is definitely a keeper.

Made these in heart shape for Valentines Day party. Decorated with white icing and sprinkles. Irresistible.

These were very yummy cookies, although I like mine a little softer. For taste though, definately a 5 and the dough was so easy to work with. I used one cup less flour then the recipe calls for and it was perfect. I also bought cream cheese frosting and melted it a bit in the microwave and then dipped the cookies into it and they turned out perfectly smooth and shiny and they had the great cream cheese taste. Yummy!

These are easy to roll out, have wonderful flavor, and don't break easily.

I just got done making these very tasteful sugar cookies. I didnt but icing on mined, i just sprinkled colored sugar on them, and they were so easy to cut out. I have tried many sugar cookie recipes and this is my favorite, will make these again. Patti

Great recipe! Very cute idea. A real hit!

I used the recipe as-is except I cooked them about 1 minute more so they wouldn't break. They worked great for party favors. They lasted a whole week and still tasted great. I individually wrapped them in clear bags with little bows and everyone raved about them!

This is my standard sugar cookie recipe. I half it often and it turns out perfectly every time. They are delicious and if you roll them out to 1/4 of an inch, they are soft inside and crisp on the edges. I don't do the lollypop sticks, too much trouble for me! Thanks!

These are the absolute perfect sugar cookies- I got 76 out of my batch- plenty to give out to friends and neighbors. They're great plain, frosted, sprinkled with sugar- whatever you like... and I like it all! I can't wait for halloween and Christmas so I can make tons more!

I have just used this recipe to make '6' shaped cookies for my sons birthday party. I didn't follow the method given, I just threw all the ingredients into my food processor and then put it in a bag in the fridge for a couple of hours. When I got it out I sprinked flour on before I rolled it and it has made wonderful biscuits. They puff up a bit so they shouldn't be put too close together on the baking tray. I have iced then with glace icing and they are lovely. Thanks for the great recipe. Just one thing, I am British and have never heard of butter flavoured extract so I just left it out! I used caster sugar for white sugar and plain flour for all-purpose flour.

Very good. I also sandwiched the stick between two 1/4" cookies before baking and baked about 12 minutes.

These cookies are great. I made a batch for my children's valentines day parties and they were a hit. With half of the dough we made hearts with lollipop sticks inserted in the bottom and the kids painted them with icing. We inserted the sticks immediately after they came out of the oven. I received many requests from neighbors and preschool teachers for the recipe!
