This was a pretty good cookie! It was a little too crumbly for my liking, but the taste was almost exactly like a store bought sugar cookie. Next time I will probably try frosting or maybe a jam thumbprint to spice it up.

I used Lemon extract and my cookies sell like no others at school bake sales. They come out light and crispy. I think my kids make up reasons for me to bake cookies for their classes.

I was looking for a cookie to use as a base for matcha green tea cookies. These cookies are good, but not quite 'crispy' in the way one generally thinks of cookies as being crispy. They came out a bit sandy for me, as some other reviewers have mentioned. Relatively easy to put together and I got 48 cookies halving the recipe.

Very tasty with a nice dry crumb. I used almonds instead of walnuts because that's all I had in the cupboard. Next time I want to try it with pecans. I took a few and dipped half in melted chocolate. They disappeared quickly!

For a simple sugar cookie recipe, this did the trick. However, for my tastes, I wanted a little more so I made the "Cinnamon Bun Icing" recipe from this site and spread it on top of the cooled sugar cookies. Then I chopped up one hersheys milk chocolate bar in my processer and sprinkled a generous portion on top of the icing. My husband who doesnt even like cheesecake (which is what the icing tastes like) gobbled them up. When I brought these to a baby shower, everyone raved! By adding these tips, these cookies were fabulous.

crisyp, crunchy, like a pecan sandy at the grocery store, absolutely the best cookie! I will make these again and again. I put them on my holiday trays that I take to my neighbors, they called me for the recipe. Imagine their surprise when I told them I found it on the internet!

I found these to be very bland. If I make these again, I would make them with a thumbprint of jam in the middle to add some flavor.

Okay, these cookies are sooo good! I just took my last batch out ot the oven and WOW! I read some of the comments about them being like a sandie and that is what sold me. I have looked over the recipe several times but didnt ever try it because of the nuts. I dont know why, because I love nuts, but for some reason they just didn't sound good. I halved the recipe and still got almost 4 dozen cookies. I forgot to add the nuts to the first half of the dough, but got them in the second half. I used almond, because that is what I had on hand and used half of the butter and replaced the other half with sour cream 'cause I had a little I needed to get rid of. They came out nice and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (they still arent all the way cooled, so they may crisp up inside). They dont have chocolate in them, but the recipe is on its way to my recipe book.

I can't believe anyone liked this recipe. They came out looking like biscuits, but if you sprinkle sugar on top, ... then they look like biscuits with sugar on top. They taste like a really fine grain edible sand paper with a hint of sweetness. The only way I found to redeem the recipe somewhat was to put macadamia nuts on top. Maybe I'll experiment with less (or no) oil, and less flour. I don't see how anyone could describe the texture as crisp. It's remotely like a sandie.

I've just found this recipe again after making it for the first time months ago. I made a batch and then made the mistake of taking them into work. On the good side I was an extremely popular boss that day. On the bad side...I only got TWO COOKIES out of the whole box, because everyone loved them so much! *grin* Great recipe, I look forward to eating more of them when I make them over the next day or so. Thank you!

This is by far the best cookie that I have ever made. My kids and grandkids just love them. Our little toy schnauzer can smell the cookie as soon as someone takes one out of the bad. She follows us around, begging until we give her a bite.

the recipe is a little flourey tasting however it is a very good cookie I made it tatse even better by mashing course sugar into the cookie while flating with the fork, makes it a real sugar cookie. a drop of lemon oil gives it great flavour as well.

more like a sandie cookie than anything, but still excellent

This has got to be the best sugar cookie recipe I've ever found. The cookies turn out beautiful and they aren't too dry or too moist. I omit the walnuts, but I'm sure they'd be great with those, or with pecans. If I had a list of top ten favorite cookie recipes, this would be on it.

I was almost going to give this recipe 5 stars... They were sooo good when they came out of the oven, but just 30 minutes later, they were dry and crumbly! They're good, but not incredible... Be armed with a glass of milk!

Fantastic! I rolled some into balls, flattened with a glass, and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar- tasted just like snickerdoodles. The rest I frosted with powdered sugar icing for my son's preschool class. The kids loved them, and the teachers asked for the recipe!

I omitted the nuts and this recipe was bumdigity fantbulosus ( I do not care if these aren't words, words can't describe how frickin great these cookies are!!! ) Try em! You'll like em! Piece : )Audi 5000

These were wonderful! I did omit the nuts.(My boys have never liked nuts.) The cookies were nice and crispy but not hard.
