These cookies were fantastic! I set up a cookie decorating station at a party. They were a hit! Only change I made was I used Maple flavoring instead of the Butter flavoring...maybe just a tad less flour. Rolling them out was a little difficult but once warmed by hands it was easy to roll out. Most defiantly use this recipie for all my cut out cookies!

I made these for my future daughter-in-law's shower. Looked absolutely perfect, and tasted great! I frosted with the standard royal frosting recipe. Will definitely look for a reason to make again.

I've made A LOT of sugar cookies in the time I've been baking but this is the best recipe to date! I halved the recipe and they came out great! I didn't have much time to decorate them but what I did do for decorating was fun! Look no further for a cut out sugar cookie recipe! EDIT: I have continued to make these cookies, the original recipe is GREAT! Sometimes I add a bit of almond extract -1/2 tsp in addition to the others (YUM)! I've made them with & without the cookie sticks, both ways were enjoyable! I find when I leave the dough in the refrigerator for a coupe of days, it works best for me. I kneed the dough a few times to loosen it up. I don't use flour for rolling it out, I use powdered sugar. Seriously, look no further for THE BEST cut out sugar cookies!

Best recipe ever, have to admit got a little scared when I took out of fridge and dough was very hard, but once I started to work it, it was so easy to roll and cut, used powdered sugar instead of flour and almond extract instead of butter just because I didn't have it and these cookies are so addicting and held up so well for the 30 kids I had over for my daughter's cookie decorating party, people were raving about them! Will never use another recipe again! Thank you so much!

It was my first time making cut-out cookies and it was much easier than I expected even with using an old salsa jar as my "rolling pin". Most importantly, they passed the 3.5 year old icing (and eating) test. It's the first time my daughter got to eat one of her crafts and she's thrilled. I generally like sweeter cookies so if I ever make them with the intent NOT to ice them, then I'll add more sugar. Next time I'll try using less flour to see if it's easier to roll out.

These are great for Christmas cutout cookies because they are really sturdy, but they are also tasty.

Easy and delicious. Made half the recipe and still had tons of cookies. The dough was very easy to work and the cookies held their shape. To make rolling out easier, I found it best to let the dough rest overnight in the fridge and then roll out a bit at a time.

I read reviews and only used 5 cups of flour which was more than enough but these really had no flavor - we sprinkled white sugar on top then they were ok. Once we frosted them they were also good. Not that easy to work with either
