I made this cookies with the 'Sugar Cookie Frosting' from this site as well. These cookies are very soft and don't require a lot of work, making them easy. The cookies were perfect at 9 minutes and they're still soft the next day. This is a definite keeper recipe. I need to play around with it a little bit to make them roll-out cookies and they'll replace my old sugar cookies at Christmas ^_^

These cookies are soft, w/ a cake like texture but a much finer, sturdy crumb. They are JUST like the lofthouse cookies you find in the store. They will stay really soft as long as you do not over bake them. I add a bit of almond flavoring to them and they are to die for!

These cookies were ok after baking & cooling they were more like cake cookies. We didn't care for them much the next day because they were crunchy. We were hoping for a super soft sugar cookie. The flavor was pretty good and they were sweet without being overly sugary.

Perfect cookie. Soft with a buttery and sweet flavor. I made these for treats for my daughter's softball game with some butter cream icing. They were a hit. I measured out 1/4 C. cookies dough and baked about 25-30 minutes per batch. This has become my new default sugar cookie recipe.

These are amazing! Thick and soft, they are great with butter cream frosting. I used salted butter so I only added a pinch of salt to the dough, otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. I baked them for 10 min and half way through I turned the trays around and put the top one on the bottom and the bottom one on the top rack for even baking. This ones a keeper.

Great cookie! Super easy! I followed other advice and made sure the butter was room temperature (real butter - unsalted) so it whips up nicely. I followed the recipe exactly, split the dough in half and mixed in 1 tsp. of culinary lavender for half the batch because I'd been curious about lavender cookies...either way they were great.

This recipe is fantastic.Being simple and easy to prepare.Half of the first batch out of the oven was gone before the second one came out. I read other reviews and decided what I wanted. I used 2/3 cup butter instead of margarine which gave them the buttery taste we love. I also did 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla. I creamed the shortening,butter and sugar until really very ligt and fluffy. These are excellent and this is a winner and keep in our books.

I tried a batch of these cookies over the weekend. They were being swallowed right from the cookie sheet. Most of the 1st batch never made it to the cooling rack. They were a big hit. Definitly making these again. Very much recommed this for anyone looking for an easy soft cookie recipe.

Very good sugar cookies. Easy to make. I will be making these again. I made no changes. Next time I may add more vanilla, I love the flavor of vanilla.

These were good. I made half of the recipe and still came out with 20+ cookies that were a good size. I had to bake mine about 14 min and still weren't brown on bottom. I also would suggest spraying your pan with a non-stick spray. I thought there was a bit too much salt, will reduce next time. These don't spread much, you can place them fairly close.

Delicious! You have to try this recipe for yourself to believe how great they are. I followed the recipe to the T and they came out perfect. So perfect in fact that I had to hide some from my family just to get to enjoy them too! Thanks for a fab recipe, I'll be coming back to this one again and again.

Overall, these cookies were amazing! I'm not usually a cookie fan, but I and everyone else loved them! My only "complaint" about these cookies was that the recipe made 32 cookies instead of 24 (well, 33 but don't tell anyone). They would probably be good with ~3/4 cup of chopped pecans mixed into the batter.
