These cookies were delicious and soooooo easy to work with!!! I used 1 tsp. of vanilla and 1/2 tsp. of almond extract. I also substituted whipping creme for the 6 egg yolks (about 1 tbsp. for each yolk). If you have a hard time making sugar cookies, this would be a good recipe for you!

This was exactly the recipe that I was looking for. The cookies stayed soft, at least for the little bit of time that they stuck around. This one is going in my recipe box for whenever I want sugar cookies! The perfect cutout sugar cookie recipe!

This is THE sugar cookie recipe I have been wanting to make for years! I had received cookie boquets when my kids were born and I had not tasted sugar cookies that good since! These are perfect. I made these really thick and used big cookie cutters about 4-6" so I only got about 3 dozen cookies but they are delicious! I used parchment paper instead of greasing the cookie sheets. Thanks for the recipes

I rolled them thick, cut out leaves, and frosted with a hardening glaze. Wonderful. Sturdy and moist.

This is an awesome recipe!!!! The dough was so much easier to work with than other recipes I've tried (after chilling). The cookies kept their shape when baking. The description was exactly on target: big, soft sugar cookies. Just like the bakery ones.

This was without a doubt the most amazing cut out cookie recipe I have ever made. I only decorated them with colored sugar crystals before baking. I had many requests for the recipe.

I really liked this recipe and will use it again. It was easy to make and the cookies baked up nice and soft but held their shape well. They were great to frost & decorate. I do, however, agree that they could have used a little more flavor. Maybe double the vanilla or add some almond extract, but the frosting does sweeten them up. They sure disappeared fast! Thanks for sharing your recipe! :)

This was absolutely the best cut-out recipe I have ever made.... I made them on Valentine's day for my boyfriend and he loved them. The icing was the perfect touch also, I added milk instead of hot water, and to the batter about 1/4 cup more sugar.... I'm definately making these again!
