I made these for my friends and mother, turns out they were so good that I split them between my friend and mother and I and left the other friend out. They were a big hit, though they took a little while longer to cook. Very good, I will be making them again soon for myself and the friend I left out before

quick, easy, and delicious. My kids had fun putting frosting and sprinkles on them. These are definitely better NOT golden brown. I like them *just* cooked.

I really loved this recipe! I thought my cookies came out perfect. I made my own frosting. It was really sweet [a little tangy] so it balanced out great with the cookie. I didn't roll mine out, I just rolled them in a ball then flattened with a plastic lid. They were great!

Very good, I made them for Easter and they were gone in a few hours! Nice and moist, too!

Made a batch with my kid, and we thought there was something weird at first but then we realized that we just have never made sugar cookies that tasted that good. Our taste buds were just not used to it.

the perfect sugar cookie, and a big hit with the ultimate cookie fan in my house...my husband. thanks for the recipe

I followed the amounts and wound up with great cookies. I also added almond extract for flavour.

These were incredible. This will definitely be my "go-to" sugar cookie recipe from here on out. Thanks for sharing.

THE BEST SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE I'VE EVER HAD! Perfect for Christmas Cutout cookies :)

I would like to qualify my rating by stating that this recipe is very good for decorative cookies and very detailed cookie cutters. There is nothing to rise these cookies so they keep their shape very nicely. However, these aren't very high in flavor, they are pretty to look at but they lack the soft moist texture. They would be better if topped with a very flavorful frosting. It just depends on what you're looking for in a cookie, if you need something to keep it's shape, then these are it!

I made 144 of these cookies last night for my step-kids to bring to school for valentines day tomorrow. I used raspberry jam to stick two cookies together, instead of using the decorating sugar. They are dynomite

Great! I used 1 cup of sugar instead of 3/4 and sprinkled red sugar sprinkles (before baking) on some and drizzled white chocolate over the tops of the rest (after baking).

I think it just all comes down to personal preference. I don't like sugar cookies and I've never made them before but these were right up my alley. They were easy to make, not overly sweet although I added 1c of sugar instead of 3/4 and I added 1tsp of baking powder. They came out fluffy and I loved the taste. We topped them with chocolate chips after they came out of the oven. Some with sprinkles (they didn't stick) and some with icing. I thought they were great and my 8yo thought they were "pretty good."

Wonderful, easy recipe!! I followed the directions as stated and came out delicious! For the first batch: I lightly flattened it and came out very soft and fluffy. For the second batch: I flattened it out even more and came with very yummy crunchy cookies. **One thing I will recommend is to reduce the salt by about half; you can taste the salt if you follow the recipe amount. But other than that, easy to make, delicious cookies! Most definately worth the try!

I thought they were awesome! I didn't bother to roll them out though. I just made balls and cooked them. When they were fresh out of the oven I took a spoon and smushed them down a bit. Not too sweet. Perfect!

After trying many recipes for sugar cookies for this holiday season, I would have to say this one was the best! It was a big hit with everyone! My five year old over decorated it and it still wasn't overbearingly sweet. It was just perfect.

I was VERY pleased with how these came out! They were a big hit in my household. I didn't change a thing in the recipe, although I did put them in the freezer for 20 minutes, then in the fridge for the remainder of the firming hour. It was perfect! I topped them with the 'Cream Cheese Frosting I' recipe found on this site. I will definitely be making these again with that frosting!

These were great to put into a cookie cutter after refrigeration... I was worried that they would be too sticky after reading the reviews, but they were the perfect consistency. The key for me seemed to be a lot of flour on everything (your rolling surface, on the dough, on the rolling pin, on your fingers, etc.). However, I can't say I enjoyed the taste of the cookie all that much. They were satisfactory, but I'm sure there are better tasting cookie recipes out there. These were good for decorating and putting icing on top, but I much preferred tasting the icing than the cookie. They were also a bit too chewy... for a decorative sugar cookie, I would prefer a harder cookie, but to each their own!

What in the world?? I agree with other reviews, there has to be something wrong/missing with this recipe. I followed the advice of others and increased the sugar and butter. They were easy to roll out with lots of flour and I left them pretty thick, but after baking, the cookies completely flattened out and are full of holes and transparent!! Guess no sugar cookies this year.

Eww (that is what my sisters said about the flavor)...this is not a recipe I will use again. However, they rolled out great after an hour in the fridge which is good if you want to use them for ornaments :). Happy Holidays.
