I followed Rolanda's advice and softened the butter to a melty-soft consistency and added a little extra vanilla extract as well. These were some of the best sugar cookies I've ever had and they were very simple to make. I'll definitely be making these again in the future.

I used this recipe to teach a cooking lesson for 4th and 5th graders.We all enjoyed the cookies!

Wow - what great and easy cookies. These are so nice and soft - great texture. I used 1/2 of the flour wheat and the rest all purpose. Used a small ice cream scooper to make the cookies. Will be making again soon!

these were good, but they were too buttery for my taste. I recommend flattening them slightly before baking.

An excellent sugar cookie recipe. Easy, too! Will take them out of the oven a few minutes sooner next time in hopes that they will be softer. I have an old fashioned oven from about 1950 or so, so this may be why they got a bit crispy. They also look nice. Put a few candy sprinkles on each one before baking. Thanks You.

I messed up (mid-mixing I accidently, and unbeknownst to me, clicked on another sugar cookie recipe & ended up adding 1/2C sour cream to THIS recipe as a result), so I can really only rate this on taste, not texture/consistency. These taste amazing! Really good; I didn't find them over-poweringly buttery at all, as some previous reviewers had mentioned. I'm looking forward to trying them again, w/just the ingredients THIS recipe calls for....(and I'll def be using this as a base for my future fruit pizzas!).

Perfect! I was hunting for a recipe that only needed one egg, because that is all we had. What I found is the best sugar cookie recipe I ever tried! I rolled them into balls and then my kids rolled them into different things before we baked them: sugar, sprinkles, cinnamon, mini chocolate chips. One little tip, I thought it mixed better by hand, with a wooden spoon, than with a mixer.

This is my favorite sugar cookie receipe. I've made it several times & it always turns out well. I add double vanilla extract for extra flavor, but the rest is perfect!

Big hit with my friends. The first time I made them I didn't have enough butter and used another egg to make up for the lost moisture, and they turned out very creamy and soft, absolutely delicious. When I made them again however and followed the recipe exactly they weren't as good, and too buttery.

These are amazing cookies! They were very easy to make and were incredibly delicious. Everyone loved them. I'll be making them again soon!

these were perfect! of course - i didnt think they had enough sugar on them - so i dipped into sugar before baking! .. made them cripsier on top! More sugar - the better!

very fast very easy very very delicious!

These cookies were super easy to make, the recipe had ingredients that I had on hand at the time, and the cookies turned out perfectly. They were nice and crisp, just the perfect amount of crispness. Just be sure not to over bake them, or they will get too hard. As soon as you see any browning around the edges, take them out! I added sugar and crystal sprinkles before they were baked, so they would stay on the cookies, and they turned out wonderfully. I will use this recipe any time I need sugar cookies!

these cookies were very easy to make, and require very basic ingredients. i used 2 tsp of vanilla to make the taste a bit richer. i added chocolate and peanut butter m&m's on top. i also rolled some in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar to make snickerdoodles, which came out well.

This recipe is delicious! My entire family enjoys them. The only problem that I find is that when i cook them for 8 minutes the inside of the cookie is not fully cooked yet. Next time, i will cook them for longer. These cookies are well worth a second time making.

Very easy to make! I cut them in half when they are warm and then serve them with the chocolate fountain. They are very good!

I made these for a Fourth of July party. They were amazing!! My dough was really crumbly, so I got worried at first, but I just rolled them into little balls and they baked just fine! I was able to make about 40 little cookies, which I decorated with frosting! Easy, fast and very tasty recipe!!
