I added my own special touch to this recipe. I changed the count from 60 people to 10 and added 1 1/2 tablespoons of marshmellow creme and a cup of trail mix. It was a hit! Everyone kept asking for the recipe! (I also sprinkled powered sugar on top of the cookies and baked them in bite sized pieces.)

I gave this 4 stars because I had the same problem lots of other people had. This dough was way too fragile to roll out. I chilled it overnight and I still couldn't roll it /use cookie cutters on it. I wound up rolling them into balls and flattening them on the cookie sheet. I had added an extra 1/2 tsp of vanilla after reading that they were bland and I thought the taste was quite pleasant.

The only change I made to was to add a couple extra TSPs of sugar (I like me cookies sweet). I have been searching for an awesome sugar cookies recipe for years, and my search ended after I made these! I have made them twice and everyone absolutely raved about them! Goes well with the "Sugar Cookie Frosting" by Kathy Brandt.

Make sure that you put these in the fridge before cutting, otherwise, you have pretty sticky dough. Also, I would suggest making these about 1/2 inch thick, as 1/4 inch thickness resulted in a lot of breakage. We used 'The Sugar Cookie Icing' recipe from this site for decoration, and the kids loved "painting the cookies". They now beg to do this on every holiday. We originally used these to make Father Day tie cookies, and he LOVED them. :D They weren't too sweet, or too dry.

Very sticky. Hard to roll and cut. I gave up and spooned the dough onto the baking sheet and made rounds. The dough was tasty. Not the cookie. Very cakey texture. I was not a fan.

I kept them in the fridge for an hour but they were still way too soft to roll out. When they baked they did keep their shape. These were just blahhhh!

These were okay. They were lacking in flavor. Will stick to my recipe with cream cheese in it.

This dough was way to sticky, I had to add way more flour and powder sugar! It doesn't have the best flavor either! Next time i will use a different recipe! Maybe I did something wrong, but I followed the recipe exactly as written and had poor results!

Yummy, perfect cookies! I followed one recommendation and took them out JUST as they were starting to brown on the edges--great tip!

AWESOME COOKIES! I added an extra cup of sugar and some more vanilla per some of the other reviews and I think that was a good idea. It added some exrta flavor. I have made these alot and everyone always loves them. I just tried the "Sugar Cookie Frosting" recipe from this site and it is great. I do sometimes have to add more flour to this recipe to make it more workable. And I tried to roll it onto Parchment paper per other reviews and wasn't succesful with that at all! I even tried to keep the paper from shifting by putting some shortening under it. Didn't work. however I do cook these on parchment paper and it works wonderfully. You should definently keep any dough you are not working with in the fridge. and a tip for rolling them out is to smear a thin layer of shortening on the counter and then dust with a mixture of flour and powdered sugar so that the flour sticks to the counter and your cookies wont stick. I love these cookies and will never make another sugar cookie recipe again!!

An excellent cookie batter. I find rolling the batter between two sheets of wax paper takes away the need to use flour or powdered sugar on the dough.

These did very well this year as our Halloween cookies. We used cookie cutters shaped like ghosts and bats....would have like the batter to be a bit sweeter, but that's just a minor alteration next time. Thanks for this one

This is my go-to sugar cookies recipe. It works like a charm every time. When I made the dough, I make several batches and freeze some for future use. It always keeps well in the freezer. Thanks!

For me, this recipe did NOT turn out well. I wouldn't call them sugar cookies. I would call them odd little dough-cake-bread items that I now must slather in icing to make up for their bland taste. SO many people gave this a high rating I have a feeling I did something wrong. I am going to try to remake these some day. I don't think it's fair to give this one star because of my error (with a lack of sugar) so there's the three.
