These cookies were definitely softer - almost cake like. My husband liked to eat them all by themselves with no frosting. I on the other hand did not think they were sweet enough - the nutmeg seemed strong to me. I did not refrigerate the dough overnight - instead I placed in the freezer to harden to make cutting shapes easier. Lots of flour also helped. I would try another recipe before coming back to this one...it was not bad, but I am looking for a different flavor and texture - even though this was soft.

These cookies are absolutely perfect!! They stayed soft until the last one was gone! The dough is super smooth, the baked cookies have a delicate sweetness, and I wouldn't hesitate to give these as gifts, that's how great they turn out! I substituted the nutmeg with a few drops of lemon extract!

Very happy with this recipe. I have been using a different sugar cookie recipe for years, and my husband asked me to find one that was "softer". I make LOTS of Christmas cookies, and I had high hopes for this recipe. It didn't disappoint. I topped it with Icing For Sour Cream Cookies from this site and it was a nice balance of a sweet topping on this cookie.

I followed the recipe to a tee except I used Activia vanilla yogurt because that's the only formed dairy product I had on hand and rolled them in colored sugar before baking and they turned out great!

Very soft, but not very sweet. Don't make them too thick... they'll end up tasting like biscuits!

Best sugar cookie of all time. My sweetie chooses these over his previous favorite, chocolate chip. Spice to your tastes, I added a little pumpkin pie spice along with the nutmeg. They freeze well too and remain soft. Make extra batches if you want to freeze some, they won't last long!

Finally found the best Soft Sugar Cookie. I made exactly the recipe and they were the best. I wanted to put a good icing on them but my sister is eating them as fast as they come out of the oven and by the way, we are not kids, I'm 58 and my sister is 68 and we don't eat a lot of sweets unless it is something really special and these are.
