These are very good. I made them rolled in sugar and without and prefer the unsugared kind. I did make some reductions of ingredients; I only used about 1/3 cup of oil and then added about 2 tbls to the mixer in the last couple minutes of mixing. I also only used one egg. I thought with all the butter there shouldn't have been the need for all that oil. The cookies tasted very, very good.

Fabulous. I use a good unsalted butter and Spectrum shortening (brand doesn't have trans fats) instead of oil and the cookies come out perfectly. They are the best sugar cookies I've ever had and I get rave reviews when I make them. Thank you for the recipe.

My friend recently gave me a recipe that was very similar to this except it called for one tablespoon of almond extract and an additional 4 heaping tablespoons of flour. Another thing I did differently was that I flattened the cookies slightly with the bottom of a glass and increased the cooking time to about 9-10 minutes. I've had great luck with these. They are amazing cookies that are so tender and light.

These cookies were pretty good. My oven is usually right on, but I had to bake these for 10 minutes. They were very soft, but the started to crumble the next day (which I've never had happen before).

I found that the raw dough tasted very good, but the baked cookies tasted bland and dry. They didn't hold their shape well either, even though I added more flour. They tasted good though with chocolate icing, or when they were frozen.

I made these on Valentine's Day, for the kids. They were very good. They tasted even better the next day! The only substitution I made was vinegar in place of the cream of tarter, because I didn't have any. I also used home made butter to make these (I was out of butter, too, so I whipped cream until it was butter.) I cut the recipe in half and made the cookies a little smaller and I got 60 of them! The cookies were nice and soft and yummy!

By far the best sugar cookie ever. Added a little extra flour and cooked for about ten minutes.

Totally fabulous and tasty! Very sweet, but that's what we all want at the holidays, right? I'd recommend fairly small balls (about 3/4 the size of a ping pong) otherwise they take longer than eight minutes and are just too big!

These cookies are great! They are soft but with a crunchy edge and just sweet enough. I had to add a touch more flour to get the perfect cookie. I did not use shortening like so many people did and they turned out great!

These make the best Christmas cookies! My Great-Grandma had a similar recipe. Our tradition is to roll teaspoon size dough in sugar and cinnamon and stamp the cookies with the bottom of a slightly floured crystal glass before putting them in the oven. They look like snowflakes and mom uses Great Grandma's crystal glass every Christmas.

I actually only had whole wheat flour in the house so I used that and added a little more than a tablespoon of baking powder to the mix. Then I spiced up the cookies with some cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. If you use professional baking pans with the tiny holes at the bottom and the other pan that fits underneath that to buffer the heat on the bottom, the cookies come out perfectly round like store-bought cookies. Either way you back my version...WOWWIE! Awesome!

Intereting for a sugar cookie. Almost like a shortbread. Dough was too soft to roll into balls so i just dropped with a spoon then sprnkled with sugar. I am not sure if I will make again. Nice flavor and texture though.

these cookies had the texture of a sponge. i think 1 cup of butter is too much . i may try to alter it and try agin. one thing you can count on is they won't crumble in your milk.
