I have to say this recipe is a winner!! I just cut down the sugar a bit because I thought with the icing it would be too sweet and it was just perfect :o) It was a great Mother's Day gift. My Mom absolutely loved them!

I LOVE these cookies! The recipe is perfect as-is and my husband requested I immediately make more when we were out =) I couldn't keep a spoon out of the batter while it was chilling. YUM!

This is the BEST recipe!! Makes excellent cookies- hold very well even with large cutouts on sticks! HIGHLY recommend!!! Didn't use all 7 cups of flour, so took advice from prev poster and mixed salt and BP with 5 cups flour first. firm cookie but soft on the inside- I made big daisy cookies and had to cook them for 15 mins 8-10 was not enough.. enjoy!

I have found my new cut-out cookie recipe. These are neither too hard nor too soft. I only made 1/2 the recipe, which made 24 flowers/butterflies.

Great cookie. (I took the advise to add part of flour with BP and salt first. I needed 5 1/2 cups) I have been making Sugar Cookies for my Cookie Monster hubby for years. I wanted to try something new and these are great. I am making 130 cookies for Church event with a tropical theme. I stenciled a palm tree on each cookie. BIG HIT!

Great recipe! I have come to leave out the baking powder because I find the details of the cut-out shapes get lost a little bit as the cookies puff in the oven. And they still have a great texture without the powder -although the dough really benefits from an overnight stay in the fridge. Last adjustment: no butter flavored extract to be found here in Belgium, so I sometimes sub in maple flavored extract (which is not available here either, but I bought that one in Canada a while ago) or just leave it out and double the vanilla. Thank you Laura!
