Thank you! I teach school in Japan, so most of my students (7 year olds) have never baked or decorated cookies before. I needed something extremely simple that we could whip up as a class and bake in the school's tiny toaster oven. This was perfect; I measured out the ingredients at home, let the kids mix them together, decorate, and bake. The cookies were absolutely delicious, and the kids were thrilled. A wonderful school memory for them!

Loved this recipe! Very easy, and taste just as good without frosting as they do with! Thanks!

I just made them yesterday and they were so good! They just melt in your mouth. I used real butter, but I plan on making another batch with margarine and see if they turn out as good. Warning: Once you eat one of these cookies it is almost impossible to stop eating them.

These were so soft and delicious! Great because they just require ingredients you would usually have on hand, and you don't need to refrigerate or roll out the dough...so easy!

Loved it-- especially the no rolling it out part. Added 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. cream of tartar. Fantastic!

I agree with the advice to use VERY softened MARGARINE, rolling them in sugar, and cooking 8 minutes ONLY for nice soft cookies. A teaspoon was too small for us; a tablespoon is more like the right amount unless you want bite-size cookies. I'd be willing to do this recipe again. I was tempted to do a ready-made cookie batter, but I'm glad I didn't. This recipe makes a much better cookie than a mix. I'm better at cooking than baking and even I didn't mess these up. My kids and I had fun making them.

These live up to their name: EASY sugar cookies. I followed the recipe exactly rolling the balls in colored sugar. They were delicious, melt in your mouth cookies.

these are awesome sugar cookies. i agree with another person that said take them out at about 8 minutes- they come out very soft and delicious. i don't really like crunchy sugar cookies so THIS is the recipe I was looking for. I actually made them around Halloween and put homemade icing on top and they were amazing- best recipe hands down. the only problem i had was using a "teaspoonful" and rounding them... they came out looking like silver dollars. so i just made them a little bigger and it was perfect. i'll be making these for Christmas :)

Great recipe! These turned out really well. Everyone who tried them loved them. However, my girlfriend liked them, but said they tasted like shortbread. Another friend agreed. Not sure what to make of that, but I will definitely be using this again. Thanks!

The "kids" ( in their 20s ) have eaten the entire batch in less than 5 hours. I just put out more butter to soften for tomorrow. I agree with reviewers. Make sure your butter is SUPER softened.

DELICIOUS! I was worried because the batter was really crumbly so I added a tsp. of water and another egg. They turned out fabulous!

I have never been a big fan of sugar cookies, and these didn't taste bad but were a pain to make. I used this recipe,for a Christmas party let the butter get really soft and they still turned out more like cake or biscuits then chewy sugar cookies. I also found it difficult to get them cut out because the dough was so soft even after refegeration for a couple of hours. I am still looking for a good recipe.

I wanted easy and that's all that I got. These were bland, bland, bland. I added more vanilla and even a little lemon extract. I wound up making a glaze of lemon juice and powdered sugar to put on top to make them edible.

A simple and wonderful recipe! I've made it several times already! Some of the texture issues other users have complained about seem to occur as a result of serving variations. This therefore changes the overall amount ofingredients in the recipe.Though it's nothing an intermediate baker can't fix. Delicious! Try making a little nook in the center of the cookie prior to baking and put little dollop of your favorite preserve in it.Fun and tasty.
