If made a little thick, these are just like the cookies from Wal-Mart in the bakery (better tasting of course!)

This is my all time favorite sugar cookie. I have used this recipe for years. I roll the dough very thin when making these. They come out crispy and flaky. Sometimes I use colored sugar and other times I use frosting for these. Anyway I make them they are always a hit, with not even crumbs left on the platter!

Great cookie! I made very thin cut-outs and they were still moist and chewy, even days after they are still awesome.

Cookies tasted good but dough was very hard to work with. It kept crumbling everytime you would try to roll it. Still on the hunt for a sugar cookie that tastes good and it easy to work with.

This recipe is great. I love the flavor. Although I didn't refridgerate it. I mixed it all in my stand mixer. And when it was done it was firm enough to handle but I just dropped by cookie scoop onto cookie sheet and pressed them down with the back of a spoon. I love them. Next time I will take the time to roll them out.

The best rolled sugar cookie! I substituted 2 tsp. lemon juice for the cream of tartar. I am not fond of a strong buttery flavor so I used 1 stick of butter and 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening. I chilled the dough in the freezer for 1/2 hour and then rolled between parchment paper. After cutting out the cookies I pressed them into colored sugar that I made from the "colored sugar" recipe on this site. The end product was a very colorful sugar cookie that tasted great!

I baked these cookies twice at two different cookie parties and both times they came out delicious! I'm craving them now in fact! They taste like the ones from the store that are all puffy with frosting except you know what's in them. No trans fat and chemicals. They are so good I recommend them to anyone.

Very good cookie. I did make one minor alteration, and added about 1/4 tsp of salt to help bring up the flavors and balance out the confectioners sugar. This cookie has great texture too. Slightly crisp on the edges and soft in the middle. What a sugar cookie should be!

There's so many sugar cookie recipes out there, but this is my favorite so far! Using powdered sugar instead of regular makes them positively velvety! I found only two cons: 1) the dough is quite soft, so I usually have to work in some extra flour while I'm rolling them out, and 2)this makes a pretty delicate cookie that doesn't travel especially well--if I were making it for a potluck or something I'd probably look for a sturdier recipe. I give it five stars for flavor and texture, though!

no thanks easy, enough to make but no thanks I do not see what all the fuss is about, the taste was very disappointing, there are much better sugar cookies recipes on here, we did frost them and it was still a bland and boring cookie, sorry I do not like giving bad reviews.

These are my family's favorite cut-out cookie and we have been making this one for over 35 years. If you leave your cookies uncovered they'll be crisp, if you seal them in a container they'll be soft and there even seems to be a taste difference between the two. The icing we use is: 1 C powdered sugar, 1/4 t salt, 1/2 t vanilla, 1 1/2 T. milk or water (Give or take - don’t want it too thick but not too thin either).

Overall a good recipe, worth using. Mine came out a little crunchy ..not soft in any extent of the word, but still good. I put frosting on mine, which made it taste that much better!

These cookies were perfect for making Christmas cookies with my 3 and 6 year old. They had good flavor, if just a bit too much baking soda (of course that made them have just the right kind of crispy). I was in a hurry and rolled them out a bit thick, which turned out to be a good choice. Once the kids decorated them they were just sweet enough (but a tad garish :)

I made up the dough last evening and refridgerated it in 2 batches. Today I set the dough out to make it more workable. I was disappointed it was slightly difficult to work. I probably added close to 1/2+ powder sugar and flour to the dough to make it stiff enough to hold the form and to transfer it to the cookie sheet. Normally 1/4 is fine, but these seem to spread too much and flattened out. The taste is good, but I like fluffier cookies. I think I'll stick with Dora's Christmas Cookies. I do like the almond extract in the dough. Personally it gives the cookies another dimension of taste.
