i don't think it's quite fair that i rate this recipe being that i've made it one time and when i did, i changed it. but i'm going to anyway. before making this i read through the reviews and everyone was saying it tasted floury. so, like a lot of people recommended, i added a cup of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla. they chilled overnight and when i tried rolling them, they were impossibly sticky! it was ridiculous. they were sticking to the parchment paper, counter, etc. i had to end up kneading in a cup of flour to each section (i divided it into four pieces so that was 4 extra cups of flour!) just to get them rolled out. but thats not even the worst of it. when they baked, they baked like . they poofed up, got crackly, and completely lost their shape. i thought that’d be fine if they at least tasted good, but they really didn’t. they left a horrible taste in your mouth because they were so sickeningly sweet…and that was without icing. i think a lot of people, myself included, don’t realize that sugar cookies on their own don’t need to be so sweet because you add super sweet icing. so i ended up throwing away the dough. I may try this recipe again without modifications, and if it’s any better, i’ll change my rating. but i just wanted to let people know the extra sugar is really not necessary unless you’re not planning on icing them. i think it ruined my dough.
