i had to give this cookie 4 outta 5 stars bc i kinda customized this recipe a little but all in all, this cookie had a really great flavor. i took the advice of some of the other people and watched out for the salt. i sustituted half the shortening with 1 stick of butter, doubled the vanilla, reduced the salt to 1/8 tsp, and used 1 tsp of baking powder instead of baking soda.

I give it five stars. I used this recipe for christmas cookies last week- without the popstick or circle shape. The ingredients made a lot of cookies! They've lasted all week. I shared them with friends and family and everyone loved them! For frosting I used another recipe found on the site and it was amazing!

Not a bad cookie but not what I needed. I did not care for the odd taste from the shortening, I did use the butter flavored shortening. My 2 young sons and their friends did not like them either. I also found the bamboo skewer I used as the stick did not stay in the cookie and the cookie broke when stood upright. I think this recipe would work better w/ butter/marg. and as drop cookies w/o the craft stick.

I added a 1/2 butter (real butter) and it make such a difference in texture and it made the cookie chewy instead of crunchy.

This is a GREAT cookie! I halved the salt after reading reviews and the taste was perfect! I made these for a bake sale at my son's school and wrapped them in cellophane and tied them with ribbon. They came out great!

wonderful recipe, yummy cookies! i added a bit of food coloring to make them a bit less drab-looking. i will definitely make again, maybe incorporating sprinkles, chocolate chips or other add-ins. thank you for a very easy, quick, delicious recipe!

I've tried making these cookies for the fund raising.Unfortunately,the dough turns out to be too flaky and difficult to shape.I've to add more four to stable it.Its so frustrating and the taste is just so normal.

Excellent Cookie Recipe!! I made Heart Shaped Lollipop Cookies for my daughters class and this recipe was perfect. I did take the advise of others and used Butter Shortening. I will definetley use this again. (Tip: Roll into balls and refridgerate for an hour or so. Keep them in the Fridge in until ready to use).
