This sugar cookie is what the description claims it is. It is soft, puffs up, and has cake-like texture. I am giving it a five because I have tried over six different recipes in attempt to find one that would produce a puffy cookie similiar to the big thick sugar cookies commonly sold at grocercy store bakeries. While this cookie is a little lighter than the bakery cookie, it is very close. Also, the dough rolled out fine (it sat 2 hours in the freezer and I used plenty of flour to roll it out). After cutting out my cookies, I placed them in the freezer for an additional 7 minutes. They held their shape beautifully and had optimal height. Note: I did decrease the sour cream from 2 cups to 1 2/3 cups.

I've been looking for years for a recipe that comes close to one that my best friend's mom had when we were kids....and I finally found one! These cookies are great! Not for those who want a crisp hard cookie. These are soft and fluffy. Yes, the dough was a bit sticky, but I just made sure I had enough extra flour when rolling them out. I also used only 1 2/3 c sour cream. I made them a little thick, so that the kids could decorate them a little easier, and had to bake them a minute or two longer. This will be a treasured treat in our family!

This recipe is GREAT! I made it for my son's 2nd birthday party as favors (Elmo cookies) and I can't even tell you how many people have gotten the recipe from me for these cookies. They are incredible! I agree with the other review that they are like those delicious bakery cookies. I can't get enough of them!

FINALLY! This was exactly what I was looking for... puffy thick, but melt in your mouth soft. Great flavor. I used 1 2/3 C Sour Cream and cooked for 11 min. I chilled dough for 1 1/5 hrs prior to rolling. I also chilled cut outs for 7 minutes prior to cooking. Roll out thick, use good amount of flour to roll. THANKS!

Very good cookies. I did add 2t. nutmeg and 1t. lemon juice to the dough to add flavor. I thought that the dough was easy to work with and I had no trouble handling the dough with my hands. Everyone that had a cookie loved them. I frosted the cookies with buttercream and added sprinkles on top. They were a hit! Thanks.

I've been using this recipe for the past four years or so, with NOTHING but rave reviews! :) For those who are concerned with how the dough handles, simply refridgerating it elevates a lot of the stickiness when you first begin to handle it. The flavor of the dough is perfect for me since I frost them. Which is what these cookies seem to be intended for; however, if you arnt a frosing person adding nutmeg cinnamon and lemon add great flavor also.
