Well i just made these and i wasn't at all impressed. The recipe was simple enough easy to put together and dough holds up well, however there isn't much flavor here. I feel that the shortening taste is a bit over powering and thought they tasted a bit bland even with additional sugar, all in all I think that this is a good base recipe that can be improved upon.

Almost perfect, I tried with cinnamon and without, bot have a very nice flavor, but I guess I am still not used to using brown sugar instead of white sugar. I feel the brown sugar flavor was a little overpowering.

Love these cookies! I made a few adjustments by substituting White Flour for equal amounts of Gold brand Wheat Flour. (No need to blend the two flours.) I used one whole stick of Crisco butter flavored shortening and left out the regular butter. Then, before baking I rolled the cookies in cinnamon sugar. It's a more nutritious cookie - if cookies can be called that.

These are awesome. Mind you I had lard not shortening. I added 1/2tsp. of cinnamon & my 1yr old kept making "mmm" sounds while eating them. I'll up the cinnamon next time I make'em. With sugar cookies, I usually bake some right away & the rest I usually wrap them into a tube & instead of rolling & flattening them to cut them into shape, I just slice them & while they're all round I cook every single bit of them. The recipe's a keeper.
