there are better cookies.

these were soooo good! i was looking for a macadamia nut cookie, without any other add-ins, which i couldn't find. so i ended up making these and adding some chopped unsalted macadamia nuts. the cookie is perfect and melt in your mouth good and the nuts added a nice crunch. **made these again for chrismtas minus the macadamia nuts. they look so pretty when you roll the balls in colored sugar before you flatten and bake them! the taste is perfect, light, airy, buttery and good.

These are so yummy! We've made them at least 4 times since discovering the recipe a couple of weeks ago! I was out of shortening so I substituted butter...they were good but a little flatter and crispier. The recipe yields about 24 medium sized cookies. I did not flatten the cookies before baking and they turned out great! We covered them in a simple powdered sugar glaze (powdered sugar + water) and they were great! I've used regular shortening, butter flavored shortening, and regular butter and they have turned out great each time!

I have been looking and looking for a delicous sugar cookie recipe that I would not have to roll.. FOUND IT!!!! so delicous and my kids and husband loved them too!!!

Delicious sugar cookies, i used lemon essence instead of vanilla for a different taste. great texture, they vanished quickly.

Everyone in my house liked these cookies I added peanut butter to the recipe.

This had to be the easiest cookie recipe I've ever made. The only thing I changed was adding about 6 or 7 crushed round peppermint candies into the mix and then I baked them as directed. I got NOTHING but great reviews, mostly about the texture, which is a wonderful 'melt in your mouth' crumble. thanks for a simple holiday sugar cookie recipe that is easy and adjustable. Personally, I wouldn't change a thing.

These were so very good!!!! A little sticky rolling them into balls, but I put the dough in the freezer as each batch was baking, then took it out when it was time to make a new batch, and it made it less sticky and easier to roll. I also didn't have shortening, so I used sticks of blue bonnet margarine instead and they came out very well. I topped them with red and green icing that I made as the kids are watching a Christmas show tonight. SUPER RECIPE!!

I absolutely loved these cookies! Texture and taste were unbelievable. Best cookie recipe ever and can be varied with almond or lemon extract. Easy and delicious.

These cookies were soft, delicious and wonderful! I used them to make cookie sandwiches with strawberry spread.

This recipe is very simple and the cookies are delicious! Mine were light and crispy!

Very good! I panicked this afternoon as I remembered I had "snack duty" for an event tonight. I made these drop cookies (used 1/2 almond extract and 1/2 vanilla), frosted with a basic confectioners sugar glaze (also with almond extract) and they were very good. Great, fast cookie!

Fantastic cookies, mine were done before the 10 minutes were up though...

These cookies were ok, but I have tasted far better sugar cookies. The vanilla flavoring was bland, so I added almond extract which did make them taste much better...I would definitely recommend doing this. However, I am still not overly impressed.

Excellent cookies! Very light, very crisp with a delicate flavor. I used Crisco for the 1/2 c shortening and it worked very well. One big plus to this recipe was that it doesn't require any refrigeration - my 3 year old helper doesn't have the patience for cookie recipes that require refigeration! We'll be making this one again.

Excellent recipe!!! Everyone loves these cookies. I did omit the cream of tatar, simply because I didn't have any. I have tried this recipe with both butter and margarine, and butter makes a much tastier cookie. :-) Thanks, Jan!!!

When they first came out of the oven the were wonderful. After they cooled they still tasted good but were a bit crumbly. Overall I will use this recipe again.
