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.

These cookies are the best tasting sugar cookies I have ever had. They were easy, used no unusual ingredients and my 8 year old helped and could have practically made them himself. There are endless possibilities with food coloring and colored sugars and sprinkles as well! Awesome!

Great Recipe! I have many suggestions though, as many people have complained, the cookie dough gets crumbly. So, my advise is put the sticks of butter in the microwave for 2 minutes or until completely liquid. It gives the cookie great texture. I also found that 1 tsp. vanilla is to mild while 2 tsp. is too much, so do 1.5 tsp of vanilla for good flavor. Also, grease the bottom of the cookie sheet for an easy off the oven. Leave on the cookie sheet for minute before you put them on to the cooling rack. Also put less sugar. Will use this again. Everyone should allready have ingredients in pantry... MAKE THEM 2NIGHT!!!!!

WOW!!! These cookies were the BEST!!!! They were SO chewy and yummy! We used margarine instead of butter, added a 1/2 tsp of extra baking powder, and 1/2 cup of extra flour. The kids and I rolled them in some colored sugar before putting them in the oven...baked them on a stone (which I swear by for good chewy cookies) for about 10 minutes...Mmmmm!! Delicious! I have been looking for a no fuss sugar cookie for years...but none of them turned out very well. This recipe is definitely a keeper...it was SO simple...we had great tasting sugar cookies in no time!!!! THANKS!!!!

I used shortening instead of butter. My batter came out crumbly, and I added mayo to bind it, about 3 heaping tbsp of mayo. Turned out beautifully. I separated the dough in 3 parts: made some plain, added chocolate chips to the 2nd portion, and added walnut pieces to the 3rd. Everyone loved them. p.s. Also used 1/4 cup less sugar, and they turned out very sweet to my liking, I think I will use even less sugar next time.

Maybe I rolled the balls too small, but these cookies turned out crispier than expected. They still tasted delicious, but were thinner than I thought they would be--they reminded me of the Christmas cut-outs that we make during the holidays. I will definitely use this recipe again.

I loved the ease of the recipe...did not like the outcome. You need to take them out after 8 minutes...not a second later. It is like drop cookies so the cookie is not so appealing. However, it is SO SIMPLE to make!!!!!!!!

Pretty good, 9 minutes make them more gooey. I sprinkled sugar on top at the end.

I wanted soft and chewy like the kind you buy in the refrigerated section at the store, and that's what I got. I added a tablespoon of oil to ensure they would be soft, after reading some reviews. Also, replaced the baking powder with cream of tartar because I like the taste. Delicious!

Excellent! I love sugar cookies (actually, they're about the only cookies I eat) and these were perfect. As far as the butter comments go, I had to look up exactly what creaming the sugar and butter meant for another recipe before and that helped a LOT with any recipe calling for it. Also, I sometimes like to make faux snickerdoodle and sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon when they are still kinda wet, fresh out of the oven.
