    Baker Beware. The cookies were terrible - dry with no flavor. We thought the frosting might save them, but it just made them worse. In the end, they ended up in the garbage and the only way to get the taste out of our mouths was to drink a cocktail. Waste of time and waste of sugar. I'd give it zero stars if I could.

    I did not try the cookies because of others reviews, but made the icing. i needed to add more powdered sugar, and i also added a few drops of peppermint flavoring. it adds just a bit of flavor and is great for the holadays.

    Sorry but waiting an hour for the dough to come together does not suit my schedule. The cookies are not special enough to demand that kind of time and attention. I tried putting the dough in the freezer for 20 mins but it went too gooey when I tried to roll it out. A plain sugar cookie recipe works much better.

    I find the dough much too dry and crumbly to do anything meaningful. I followed the recipie to the letter and got none of the results of the other rave reviews? maybe I am just lucky

    didn't bother with the frosting.

    with all the positive reviews on the frosting, I decided to use this with my usual cookie recipe.

    It tastes great, but has a strange texture and appearance. I think this has more to do with the butter not being softened enough and not mixing it enough than with the recipe itself.

    overall, good stuff.

    I was very happy with this recipe. I did a cookie decorating party and everyone thought they were great. I think having less sugar made them good because the frosting was so sweet. I really enjoyed the frosting..quite tasty. I was also suprised to see some negative reponses on this recipe becuase they were really good and my cookies looke picture perfect.

    I didn't make the cookies. I used the frosting with the Cook's Illustrated cookie recipe. After struggling with frosting for years, this is the answer!

    I made these twice and both times they tasted great, but I couldn't use cut-outs like snowflakes because they would break off easily. Sometimes the dough didn't want to stick together. The cookies were really good though, and the fact that they have less sugar doesn't matter because the frosting is so sweet and so good. Made myself sick snacking on just the frosting ;
