The best cut out cookie I've tasted. The dough would be easier to cut out if it's chilled, but not necessary if you're in a hurry. I will make this often!

This recipe turned out great!! Thanks for sharing. I pressed the cutouts in colored sugar before baking. They turned out beautiful and tasted great. Couple of things... definitely sift the flour and sugar, and I would suggest chilling the dough for about an hour before rolling/cutting.

Easy & tasty! Good basis for sugar cookie - not too overly sweet...However, the dough was very crumbly and difficult to form into a ball for chilling to prepare for easier rolling out. Also, the amount of dough seemed to be rather small so I did the following: Added 4 tablespoons milk, 1 egg, (thought it was odd that there were no eggs in this cookie recipe) and 1/2 cup flour. This did the trick. Dough was easier to roll into a ball for chilling. Also, I used "Sugar Cookie Icing" by Gigi found here...Big hit with Hubby. YUMMY!

Awesome!!! I chilled the dough for a few minutes, then rolled it out between 2 pieces of waxed paper. That way the dough was very easy to work with and my little daughter could help without getting messy. The taste was amazing. These were gobbled up in minutes at my daughter's Valentine's Day party! Will use this recipe for cut out cookies from now on!!

I have read most of the reviews of this recipe and I have no complaints about this recipe at all. I have never found a recipe (that comes together and doesn't crumble) as good as this one. I think it tastes great and it was easy to make. I will definately be making this recipe again. Thanks for this great recipe.

Not very sweet, but excellent texture and appearance. The perfect sugar cookies for icing and decorations. These also roll out beautifully and do not stick, which is a major bonus when baking with children.

These turned out great! the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I like my sugar cookies to be more cake like.

Best sugar cookie recipe I've come across. I doubled it and it still turned out great. Dough is truly velvety and easy to use.

These cokies turned out nice and soft, but I felt they were a little lacking in flavor. The dough was too dry to form a ball and so I had to double the liquid. I added lemon juice as well for a little flavor. With those small changes, the cookies turned out yummy. I also found the recipe very simple, which is a bonus when you are making them with 5 little children!

I never post reviews, but this one I had to! these are the absolute best butter/shortbread cookies in the world! The dough is so easy to work with (I did follow the advoce of previous reviews and increase the butter by 1/4 cup and I added a Tablespoon vanilla). I used the sugar cookie icing recipe from this site and the finished productslook and taste just like they came from an expensive bakery! This is my new cut out cookie recipe for sure! Thank you!!

This is a pretty easy recipe, I was amazed how fast I was done, including the baking, but it seems to me 12 min is not enough time. Actually, I think they are O.K, I wouldn't say they are really tasty, but they are acceptable...

Excellent cookies! I'm a beginner baker, so I had a lot of trouble working the dough, until I pulled a trick I learned from Alton Brown and put a cookie sheet in the freezer and then rested it on the dough after rolling so it soaked up the cold and was better to work with. Also, I rolled with powdered sugar, no toughened cookies and it didn't make the cookies too sweet. Delicious! I can't keep my hands off of them!

I nearly went into a panic a few moments ago when I lost my paper copy and couldn't find this recipe again on the website. I've used it countless times for cookies big and small...it's a perfect dough to work with and simply delectable.

I liked the look of these cookies so decided to give them a try. I followed recipe to a science but the dough was VERY flakey so I added in one EXTRA tablespoon of milk. Made a difference in rolling these out. The fun part was decorating them. Along with a simple butter cream frosting, I used dragees and edible pink and silver glitter. Very good cut out cookie recipe.
