These were EXCELLENT! The dough was great to work with (after refrigeration), and they did not spread one bit which was great! They had a wonderful buttery taste as well. This is my new go to cut-out cookie recipe. Thanks for posting :)

Not great at all. Many people have suggested trying cream cheese cut outs and I am pretty disappointed. Not much flavor and the texture is not great either.

This was the best cut-out cookie I have ever made! The dough was easy to work with after being chilled for about five or six hours. I rolled them out with powdered sugar instead of flour, and that left them with a sweet coating on them. I will make these every year from now on!

Just the right amount of "sweet!" I added a bit more flour than the recipe demanded. I used about 2 3/4cups of flour and it turned out splendid.

This dough was too sticky for my liking- I use a recipe I found on here "soft Christmas cookies" for all my cut out cookies and it is the best ever. Thought I would give this a try as I had extra cream cheese, don't think I'll use it again.

Great recipe. This will replace my old cut-out recipe. The taste and texture of the final product are great. I added a bit of lemon zest for a bit more flavor. The dough was sticky, but I divided it into 4 small batches prior to refrigerating for several hours. I only worked a small bit at a time and left the remaining dough in the refrigerator until it was time to roll and cut.

The flavor of this cookie is good, but the dough is SO soft. I had to work with it practically right out of the freezer, and my husband's hands almost melted it immediately. I also recommend rolling it out closer to 1/4 inch thick, and baking it longer. The first tray were under baked, and did not hold together well.

Best dough too work with a light flavor, too. But I had to CHILL THE DOUGH IN THE FREEZER. My husband and daughter love them too!

Great cut-out cookies. I decorated them using royal icing and I must admit, they were hard to resist! Very good when decorated, I didn't care too much for the cookies by themselves. The dough is much easier to work with when thoroughly chilled.
