I love this cookie recipe! It is so yummy and not too sweet! You'll definitely want to refrigerate the dough. I refrigerated mine overnight and it was perfect! Remember to refrigerate any scraps you want to re-roll and cut out. Once the dough warms up it's difficult to work with. I didn't use the frosting listed on this recipe. Instead I used the 'sugar cookie icing' recipe listed on the site. I made these for Christmas and got multiple requests for more. I'll be making them for Valentine's Day as well.

This cookie is so mild. I use frosting that consists of 1 stick of real butter, 1 box of powdered sugar, 1 tsp. flavoring like lemon, vanilla or maple and then you add a little milk to get it to a nice spreadable consistancy. You can color it any desired color. I only bake the cookies for 7 minutes on parchment paper and they come out perfect every time! I have also just sprinkled them with colored sugar before baking and that turns out really nice too.

The cookies weren't exactly what I was looking for, they were good but not fantastic, and I am wanting the most fantastic of all sugar cookies.

This is the best recipe I have ever come across for a cut out cookie. My daughters and I had a blast decorating them and they were delicious too!

This is my first experience with cut out sugar cookies. It was very easy to make. I thought the thicker cookies tasted the best.Important that you dont over bake them. It should still be white-ish in color when done. I found that the frosting was not that good at all. I liked the consitancy but not the flavor. Good thing i had a back-up store bought cookie frosting. Overall it was pretty good. I will probably make the cookies again, but definitely not the frosting.

This is the easiest and best tasting recipe for cut outs I have ever done. I've never been very successful in the past with cut outs but my 4 yr. old and I made these together very easily. The icing recipe works great too and hardens after a couple of minutes sitting out!

Made these for church. Followed the advice to add 1/4 cup sugar, doubled vanilla and added 3/4 tsp. almond extract. They were fabulous. There were none left (and we usually have leftover snacks). Got compliments big time. I chose to use the Sugar Cookie Icing recipe instead. These were the first sugar cookies I have ever made that worked and didn't spread out. Could still see clear shapes of angels, wreaths, Christmas trees.

Taste is excellent but I had a hard time getting my shapes to come out right because the cookies fluffed so much. The stars came out perfect but more intricate shapes did not. All in all a great recipe. Will try again. Maybe I did something wrong.

With the addition of 2 tsp. vanilla & 1 1/2 tsp. almond extracts to this dough, I will never use another sugar cookie recipe. These bake perfectly without spreading (I bake on a parchment lined pan) and taste amazing when decorated with royal icing. It's difficult to convince people you made, not bought them! My husband is by no means a cookie guy, and he can't keep his hands off these. Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe!
