The dough is perfect - not too sweet. I used half powdered sugar and half flour to keep the surface dry. The icing is the best consistency I've ever used- incredibly easy to work with.

These cookies are very tastie. Not only that they are very easy to make. This was the first time I have ever made sugar cookies and I am going to add it to my regular cookie list.

My mother and I always made cut-out sugar cookies and decorated them at Christmas. As an adult, I've had trouble finding the perfect recipe that made an easy-to-handle dough that didn't result in a bland, floury cookie. This year, my 2-year-old daughter and I decided to give Alton's recipe a try. Well, I decided - she mostly just spilled a lot of flour. These were great! I chilled the dough for maybe 30 min. before rolling it out, and it handled easily. I rolled it on a marble board, and I almost didn't even need the powdered sugar. However, using powdered sugar instead of flour when rolling out made a big difference in the taste. We also made the royal icing for decorating. It was a little thick, so I'll make some adjustments next time. (Also, I'll follow the directions better and use heavy-duty plastic bags - we made a bit of a mess, but it was fun!

Sugar cookies are pretty, but I've never really been fond of the taste-- until now! These are the BEST!!! Sweet enough to eat plain but not too sweet for icing, crisp but just a bit chewy, easy to work with... and (I found out since I start holiday baking early and freeze the undecorated cookies they actually improve after a couple of days! Alton does it again!

I found this recipe very easy to make it took me only 10 minutes! The only thing I don't agree with is the powdered sugar for the stick resistance. I found that it made the cookies a little too sweet and gave them a funky taste as you bit in to them. I myself am going to try half flour and half powdered sugar next time

I took the time and artfully decorated the cookies and sent a tray to work with my husband, they commented that they sure looked fancy almost too good to eat and the best of all was that one man carefully wrapped a cookie to take home to show his wife hoping it would inspire her.

The cookies were delish and the icing was tasty as well. I think i would make it a tad thinnner next time so I could fill in my icing outline a bit more easily. It is pretty thick as is.
Cant wait to make more!

My fiance and I are huge Alton fan's anyhow...but we decided to give his recipe a shot - for sugar cookies. Neither one of us had ever thought of using powdered sugar to keep the dough from sticking. What a difference! It added a lovely sweetness. Also, using parchment paper! My mom should have known about this stuff! Talk about making baking easy! It is a little expensive..about $8.00 a roll, but is makes life wonderful in the kitchen!
So, a superior 5 stars to Alton and his sugar cookies...I look forward to baking more!
