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.

Great tasting, but the first batch I put in the oven came out quite hard. I suggest putting them in 6-7 minutes rather than the 8-10. They come out soft and chewy and delicious!

This was one of the best sugar cookie recipes I've used, I made royal icing to go along with it and it was the perfect sweetness!

Like the recipe says they are easy, but they are not the best ever sugar cookies so I went with 3 stars for "good". I did like them, but will be also trying other recipes. Thanks for sharing.

UPDATE!!! These cookies aren't really meant for rolling out! They're PERFECT as proper, normal cookies rolled into a ball, dropped on a cookie sheet and baked! If you want rolled out cookies so you can make christmas shaped cookies and the like, use the best rolled sugar cookies recipe.

I love these cookies, and nineteen 5-yr olds in my class love them more! I'm supposed to make gingerbread men for a class activity but realized not all kids like ginger, so I made 2 batches of the dough and kept in fridge. Brought to school the next morning and the kids love free-moulding them into gingerbread man shapes (we didn't use cutters - much more fun!). These really expands (result: cute fat gingerbread men), and the taste is sooooo good. Oh, I used very soften margarine and reduced sugar to half. Perfect. Thanks for the recipe :)

These cookies are just like heaven. I am THE worst cooker/baker in the world and I can't believe how good these ended up being. My dough was a bit crumbly too at first but I kept going with the recipe and am so happy with the results. YUMMY! (I only gave it 4 stars because of the amount of butter and sugar. Seems a little too much for my own health.)

These were super easy to make, had everything on hand in my pantry. They were delicious, too! I used vegan butter (Earth's Balance) to make them dairy free (for my son who's allergic to milk) and it worked beautifully.

I’m very sad that my first review is going to be incredibly negative. These were awful. I read the reviews and let the butter get completely soft, it was sitting on the top of the stove with the oven on and was partially melted. The "dough" was a crumbly mess and I could barely shape it into balls. I baked the cookies for 8 minutes and they did not spread. Instead I had clumps of tasteless dough that were very brittle. I’ve made many other cookie recipes and never had a problem. There is no way this recipe is correct, there has to be more wet ingredients to bond the dough…and how does a cookie recipe not have salt? This recipe was a big waste of ingredients.

What everyone else is saying is correct. Cook for exactly 8 minutes only. Make sure the butter is completely soft. Dough is easy to work with. I just rolled the dough in my hand. I also pressed the dough balls into colored sugar. Just the tops and they came out perfect.

I'm a HUGE cookie baker and I've been trying to find a sugar cookie recipe that was simple and tasty and this recipe fits the billH!!BUT HERE'S THE DEAL!!! This recipe is already super quick so save yourself some time and MELT THE BUTTER!!! I know the recipes says softened but they didn't mean softened like regular cookie recipes believe me just pop the butter in the microwave until its completely melted and these will be perfect everytime. I personally thought they were too sweet the last time I made them so the second time I made them I cut the sugar to 1 1/4 cup and bumped the vanilla up to 1 1/2 teaspoons and they came out absolutely PERFECT!!!!!

I love sugar cookies, so when I read all the great reviews I thought I would try them. Never again!!!! The dough,when mixed, was very sticky. I could't even get them to roll into a ball shape so I just scooped them off the spoon on the pan. While baking they looked good and not thin at all. I thought they might taste freat despite the dough being sticky. I baked for 8 minutes like the other reviews suggested. Cooled for 2 and tasted one. NO FLAVOR. They don't taste bad they just don't taste like anything at all. My search continues.....

Very easy and very good. I did not change the recipe. Melted butter in microwave since I forgot to take it out of the refrigerator.... Recomend this to anyone! We had fun making snowmen by just making three different size dough balls.... The dough tasted good even before baking it,(not a recomendation)

I can't understand how this recipe is getting so many 5 star reviews. My batch mixed well, which is about the nicest thing I have to say about them. They also baked well and smelled delicious. When I bit into one, at first it was delicious, then all of a sudden there was this bitter aftertaste that lingered. DO NOT make this recipe. You will regret it.
