I didn't like them, they tasted eggy the first time I took them out of the oven, so I put them in longer, then they got dry. I think I'll try the recipe with less flour next time 3 cups seemed like alot. I guess some chocolate dip or icing might help with the dryness.

Absolutely LOVE this recipe! I've made it plenty of times and served them to friends, only to get compliments and pleads for more! I recommend adding a strawberry icing of any sort. Definitely see these cookies in my future! (:

Do NOT mix too much or they WILL be too hard. Ideal to make with kids. Excellent for cookie cutters. I liked them a lot because they weren't extremely sweet. Let the kids add the sweetness with decorations.

I love these cookies. This is by far the most versatile sugar cookie recipe out there. I've read a lot of people saying to add vanilla or some other flavoring/extract. I would agree for the most part, but maybe just as a side note for a straight up sugar cookies. There are plenty of foods out there this recipe would be great for with a few modifications like adding a 1/2c. chopped pecans and a little almond extract, then rolling them into balls to bake then rolling them in powdered sugar afterwards. Also this recipe makes a great cookie crust for ice cream pies. The list could go on and on. Alton is fairly thorough when he makes a recipe and I doubt it was an oversight to omit vanilla in this one. Kudos Alton!!

I made these with a shamrock cookie cutter for St. Patty's day and they tasted great. The only alteration I made was to add 1/2 TBSP vanilla extract, which imparted a lot of flavor to the cookie and is necessary imho.

Also, I rolled the cookies out a little thicker than 1/4 inch... I like my sugar cookies that way. They came out fine after 8 minutes in the oven.

I mean..I have now made these cookies twice and I would strongly strongly suggest adding 1/2 TBSP vanilla extract (or almond extract if you prefer, otherwise you will have a very bland cookie even with the royal icing on top. And like some other reviewers, I had some problems with the dough cracking and being tough to kneed. The consistency of the cookies is good though once baked. I followed all the other instructions exactly, just add vanilla!

I loved this recipie. So did everyone in my family : I rolled them on a counter dusted with icing sugar, to add that bit more sweetness, and also added vanilla, and made some great icing to ice them with. Definaetly a keeper in my books...Making some today, St paddy!

I really wouldn't call these sugar cookies. I love sugar cookies and this recipe was more like a shortbread cookie. I had to throw them out.
