The end result is nice, but getting there is WAY too much trouble. "Knead in enough flour to make the dough workable" translates to about 3 more cups, which leads to a slightly cake-like cookie. Not to mention the trouble of adding all that flour. I reduced the amount of milk to 1/4 cup, and added it in teaspoons as I mixed, but that still didn't help -- neither did freezing the dough for an hour, although it did make it *slightly* easier to work. If you don't mind all that, then the recipe is worth it for the soft taste (altho I did add about a tablespoon of lemon rind). However, *I* will definitely be using a different recipe for sugar-cookies. :(

This dough is extremely soft and sticky. I had to add alot of extra flour to it. The cookies taste good, but really no different than other sugar cookies I've tasted.

These cookies were nice and easy. Light and easy to roll. Not too flour sensitive; so I could roll out my leftover dough over and over. I added a teaspoon of vanilla.

This is an easy rolled cookie. There was no waiting for the dough to chill. too fast. Taste great.

A little sticky at first, but when I added flour while rolling (quite a bit, really) it was much easier to work with. Baked up great and tasted fantastic!

This dough starts out extremely soft...more like drop cookies. Expect to knead in about 1/2 C of flour. Also, the dough smelled a little bland when I first mixed it, so I added 1 t each of lemon and vanilla extracts. The cookies turned out amazingly well, but expect them to puff up a lot in the oven. The flavor was exceptional, and they're tender but substantial...they don't have that floury taste most cut out sugar cookies do. I loved them! They're a little difficult to roll out, but well worth the trouble. Use large shapes and you'll be impressed with these cookies.
