These cookies were so good! The whole family loved them. As other reviewers said they were kinda bland, but as a simple valentines cookie they were great for us. To make them a little sweeter, I mixed red food coloring with sugar and generously sprinkled on top of the cookies, but icing would work well, too. If they are crumbly, just keep mixing! I thought mine were too dry, but after another minute or so of mixing (I used an electrical mixer) the dough was perfect for cut-out cookies. The confectioner's sugar is what really makes these cookies different from any others I have made. Thanks for a fast, easy, awesome recipe Jelly!

I have no clue how to cook or bake! I made these and I think they turned out pretty darn well! I also added more vanilla. Received a lot of compliments:-)

These are not what I expected. To me they had no flavor and were a playdoh texture. I don't think I would serve these to anyone or to family. I may make them once or twice again if in need of a butter cookie, but to me this did not cut it.

Great! So easy and fun...not very much like the sweet roll out cookies I'm used to. Very quick and helpful. Thanks Jelly

These cookies are the best! The dough is quick to make, easy to roll out, no chilling needed, and they taste great! I have been making this recipe for about 13 years now. For Valentine's day I make the heart cutouts with raspberry or strawberry jam and for Christmas I frost them with a peppermint flavored icing. This has become my go-to recipe when I know I need something good!

I have made these cookies several times within the last year for holidays. Just made them last week for Halloween in a pumpkin shape. I find them to be light and delicious and so do my small children and my husband. We usually decorate them for the holidays with a simple confectioners sugar glaze but my husband would eat them all plain if I let him. I always double the pure vanilla, maybe this is why we love the taste? In any case, I use my Kitchen Aide mixer which makes it so easy to whip up a batch. If you have time, you can chill the dough for some time but it's not necessary. I try to use very little flour for rolling them out so if you find the dough very sticky, you can roll it out between either 2 pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper. This is a staple cookie recipe in my house. Thank you for sharing it.

This is the perfect no-egg "sugar cookie" recipe! It's a little like a shortbread cookie, but just the right amount of sweet. It works VERY well with cookie cutters (doesn't spread out or puff up too much). My little ones love them and my husband thinks they're not bad for a cookie without chocolate chips!

These cookies are incredible! Very light and buttery - almost like a shortbread cookie. I will be making them again and again.

I really liked these cookies. The taste isn't overly sweet and that's good because the frosting I used is super sweet so these were perfect. I can't bake at all...especially roll out cookies and to my suprise I had no problems with this recipe. The dough came out perfect and rolled out easy. I did chill it for just a few minutes in the freezer but I probably didn't have to. I will be using this recipe from now on for all my cut out cookie baking needs. Thanks so much :)
