My family loved these because they were nice and crisp! I glazed these with a sugar cookie glaze that I added lots of lemon extract to.

These cookies stayed nice an soft. To the 1/4 C of white sugar I added some colored sugar (pink and purple) to pretty them up for 4 little girls who's mother is on a 6 month deployment.

I personally hate sugar cookies, and I hate these too. BUUUUUT--- it gets a five because /everyone/ I have "given" one to, at my school, loves them, & it has made me some good buisness. xD c: So high five! They're awesome! Although, I didn't press them down with a fork, and I let them get poofy, and they weren't as crispy as I guess they're supposed to be. Oh! And i put a ton more vanilla. c:

Looking for a crispy, shortbready cookie this is it. Add 1/4 tsp salt and double vanilla. Not a soft sugar cookie.

I decided to make cookies and found this recipie and did it. It really worked!! The cookies came out moist and melted in your mouth. The only thing is I kept them in the oven for a few more minutes than it said because they wernet ready. other than that, i have no complaints.

WOW, I had no chips on hand, and no time to chill and roll-- I did a "slightly modified" version of this recipe, and am I ever impressed!!! FYI-- I will next make the recipe exactly as is & review. (1) I cut recipe in 1/2 to try (1/2 x all ingred.) (2) powered sugar x1/2 WOULD have been 3/4 cup; instead, I used 1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1/4 cup light brown sugar (3) I did NOT cut vanilla extract, leave at 1 teasp. (4) 1/2 of flour ingred. WOULD be 2 & 1/4 cup, I used 2 & 1/2 cup-- also, I added a "pinch" of salt. YEAH, I know, I could have submitted a dif. recipe, but that wouldn't be fair. This dough came out PERFECT!!! I knew I had better write down a recipe (for once!). The dough does not stick to the bowl, tray, or hands!! The dough and cooked cookies taste GREAT ! And, if anyone has kids, this is perfect to separate into portions, add a bit of food color, and let them make their own cookie creations! I consider this recipe a REAL KEEPER! Easy, quick, fun AND delicious!!

AMAZING cookies. So very yummy and easy!

Perfect! Just the right amount of "crisp." I did add a dash of salt.

Don't be surprised at the greasy feeling of the dough. I will chill it next time to make it a little easier to handle. I forgot to press down with a fork and just waited for the dough balls to flatten and it was a perfect indication that they were done. I used this recipe for Christmas and rolled a few in red sugar, a few in green sugar, a few in white sugar and a few in cinnamon and sugar. I am keeping this recipe. I do wish I had made half a batch.

Made these last night for my son's St. Patrick's Day party at school. Rolled them in green sugar and they were a huge hit! I did add a pinch of sugar as recommended. Fabulous!

Easy sugar cookies. I thought the oil might make a really different cookie but it's just a regular cookie. It makes it on the crisper side but flavor wise it's the same. Love the prep though, I hate rolling out cookies! :)

Great crispy cookie! I used lemon extract instead. I had to add about 1/4 to 1/2 c more flour as the dough was way too wet to make balls, I didn't measure just added a couple more handfulls til it seemed dense enough to at least maintain a ball shape when I made one. These did spread a little, but not really too bad. They do kind of melt in your mouth, pretty light texture, but not as much as pan de polvo. I rolled some in regular sugar and some in decorator's sparkling sugar sprinkles, on the table sugar ones it just absorbed or melted into the cookie but the ones with the big sprinkles it was crunchy and reminded me of those little sugar topped washboard looking rectangle cookies that come in the danish butter cookie tins. Thanks for sharing these are great and are worth making for events and holidays!

I just made this recipe with my son. Because he has food allergies to milk and egg, we made it with egg substitute and butter flavored Crisco. We also added the salt and almond extract that others reccomended. They are delicious! This is a great recipe because it doesn't call for all butter, so it comes out great with the substitutions. Great for Vegans as well! Really has a crisp outside and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth middle. Thanks for a great recipe!

My pre-teen daughter LOVES these cookies, the recipe is easy enough she makes them on her own. Since they aren't roll out cookies it makes much less mess. She covered the top of the cookies in a variety of sprinkles so they were festive for Christmas.

This cookie is crispy, just like I wanted. Even my mom who doesn't really like cookies said this one is good. The flavor is just nice, but I added a teaspoon more of vanilla to boost the taste.
