Super easy, VERY good cookies! Definitely a must to have soft butter, and mix the heck out of the dough w/ the dry ingredients (used a hand mixer). I found it better for cookie shape to slightly flatten the cookies slightly (mine didn't spread as much as other reviews led me to believe). Thank you for a great sugar cookie recipe!!

Here's the deal. THESE COOKIES ARE PERFECT. If they don't come out right, you did something wrong. I am a novice in the kitchen and I didn't screw them up.. I read the review that said the dough was crumbly, SHE DIDN'T MIX THE DOUGH LONG ENOUGH. I can't imagine how many people threw the dough out thinking they had made the same mistake. About half way through mixing after I added the flour I thought, "OMG, look at the dough, it's 'crumbly,' just like that review said..shoot!" But I continued to mix it and it came together fine in another minute or too. These cookies are so fast, I can't imagine she was that impatient. Anyhow, cream butter and sugar WELL, as always. I use a hand mixer, it was the right thing for this dough. Use it until the butter/sugar mixture becomes a butter consistency again. When doing the flour, it will get crumbly, but soon after, it will come together perfectly. Easy to handle and ball up without refrigeration. Oh and, as another said, 8 MIN IS SPOT ON. They may not look done, but they are! I have tried a dozen sugar cookie recipes, and my search is over!! THANK, THANK, THANK YOU!! :)

We've been using this recipe in my household as a crust for "cup pies"--we bake the cookies in a muffin pan and fill the crusts with cinnamon apples. They're so delicious that way that we've yet to try making them the old-fashioned way! They're also lovely with some lemon or lime juice.

So, I tried these with shortening rather than butter because it's what I had on hand (I know....I know...how could I not have butter in the house!?). They are a great sugar cookie and seem like they'd lend themselves really well to transitioning right into snickerdooles. With shortening, they are moister in the middle....I made flattened golf ball sized rounds and baked for 11 minutes and they were perfect....slightly crispy on the outside, chewy inside.

I think the secret with these cookies is to make sure the butter is well softened and then cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly before adding the rest of the ingredients. I decreased the sugar by 1/4 cup and increased the vanilla by 1 tsp. They are good rolled into balls and then dipped into cinnamon and sugar.

Great cookies!! I used a couple of tips from other reviewers. Melted the butter and used 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla! They turned out soft and tasty! My only suggestion is that I would make the cookies a little bigger. Thanks for this recipe!

I've made alot alot alot of sugar cookies in my business, but I really feel these are one of the best out there. I did soften the butter and that worked great. No need to change anything. This is the first time I reviewed, Thanks for the recipes

This Cookie is delicious! I've been looking for a really good sugar cookie recipe for a long time, and this one wins. It's a bit too soft to make shapes with, but I didn't really care. I made them all into even sized circles, and they looked and tasted great. My coworkers raved about them, and ask me for them every week now.

I made these just as directed and I found the flavor to be just right. They did come out a bit flat and I'm not sure how to fix this problem. I also added toffee bits to some of them, coconut to others, toffee and coconut to some, and left some plain and all of them were delicious, but the toffee bits were my favorite.

LOL, just wanted to share my story. I really needed something sweet ( it was that time of the month) so I decided to make these. Somehow the dough turned out kind of sticky and weird, but I went ahead and put them in the oven. As I am eagerly waiting for them, they even smelled funny...all of a sudden it dawned on me....I forgot to add the sugar! Ugh I did go back and try again, another day, and the kids really liked them.

I can't much judge these cookies themselves because I always add things to them, but I can recommend wonderful additions! Last time I made these, I substituted apple sauce for the egg (about 1/3 cup) although egg can be used, too. Additionally, I sprinkled ground cinnamon into the dough (to taste) and also added three packets of Quaker Instant Oatmeal Cinnamon Apple. This gives it a nostalgic, sweet autumn taste. The applesauce, however, often results in a cakey texture which often ends up better the next day. That's great with a glass of milk (or soy milk - the sweetness of soy milk is great with these cookies). The only difficult thing was trying to figure out how to describe them to people... "Apple Cinnamon-Sugar Oatmeal Cookies"?

Well the taste like a sugar cookie but they certainly didn't turn out like the photo. I followed everything, but they looked like flat biscuits! LOL, they are ok. But cook and judge for yourself... I guess I'll have to try again...

I baked some of them but they seemed as if they still needed something, so I put sprinkles on the rest and that helped give them a little something extra.

This is a great recipe! The cookies turned out perfectly. I melted the butter before adding it and it worked perfectly. This will be my "go to" recipe for cookies in the future.

Perfect sugar cookies. And dough freezes like a dream. I've been looking for something that I can freeze so the kids and I can make and decorate a half-dozen cookies on a dreary, rainy afternoon. I took other reviewers' notes to heart: increased the vanilla and made sure the butter was soft, but couldn't have been easier. Double plastic-wrapped a log of dough, popped in the freezer and cut off pieces as I need them. Still only takes 8-10 minutes to bake. How long will the dough last frozen? No idea. The boys and their friends ate ours within 14 days.
