This was my first time making these and they are absolutely wonderful! I read the reviews and I was worried they would turn out "bland" tasting so I added 1 tsp vanilla extract to be safe. The only bad thing about this recipe was the dough was very sticky for me, so I would recommend refrigerating the dough for at least a few hours. I used confectionery sugar to make mine more manageable, it worked great! I took mine out of the oven after 8 minutes. I am so happy with how these turned out! Thanks so much RB5899!

I made these cutouts last year for christmas and they were a huge hit. I made the dough the day before and refrigerated it over night. I only take out enough dough for one batch at a time. To make things easier I roll the dough out on parchment paper before cutting the cookies out. I bake them on the parchment paper on an airbake cookie sheet. They turn out soft and delicious!

Best sugar cookie recipe EVER! I've used this recipe numerous times and refuse to use any other. :) These cookies are THAT good! They remind me of the puffy iced sugar cookies you get at Jewel. I like to roll my thick and underbake them a little. My family loves them!!! Thank you for this recipe!

Loved these! Wonderful to have a cutout recipe for kids that does not require chilling. Disagreeing with other reviewers that these are bland without icing. Maybe it is the quality of ingredients that makes the difference. I used organic flour, sugar, eggs and sour cream and they were outstanding.

I was not going to review this recipe, because at first I was having such a problem with them coming out dry and cracking all over. I couldn't understand what I did wrong. I added 1 tsp. of vanilla which I didn't think would have been the problem. The dough was delicious! Sticky, but so good! I did refrigerate it until it was easy to handle. The first half was a disaster! Then I switched from my air insulated cookie sheets to a regular, lightly greased sheet and they came out perfectly! My stomach hurts from tasting so much and they're not even frosted yet! I only gave 4 stars because it was difficult to use the sticky dough. The taste is a 5 though!

Just like the cookie my mother always made. I did add a teaspoon of anise flavoring to the dough, they turnrd out great. Also I didn't bother kneading the dough, I mixed everything with my hand mixer and it worked out fine.
