    My kind of sugar cookie!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I definitely love these sugar cookies over the flat ones. I'll usually bake half and then freeze the rest. I like to roll... them into a ball and flatten them out a lil bit before freezing in a freezer zip lock bag so when I do finally decide to bake them all I have to do is place them on a cookie sheet.Read more

    Old fashioned and soft style sugar cookie - YUM

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These were so good! I made them in balls and just flattened with my hand so that they were kind of like "pillows". They are... delicious with icing or just sprinkles and a big glass of milk - or a cup of Starbucks coffee! It would be easy to make these orange cookies or any other by adding extract and flavored icing.Read more

    Not very good...

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    These aren't horrible or anything, they just aren't very good. I didn't read the reviews before I made this so I didn't add... any more sugar. I did roll them in cinnamon and sugar before I made them but that didn't even really save them. I may just throw the rest out and look for a better recipe. Probably won't be making these again.Read more

    Great Cookies!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    These sugar cookies are absolutely divine! The only little thing I changed was that I added a half cup more sugar, it's all... about your taste though!Read more

    Not what I expected

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    These cookies taste OK once they are done. They definitely don't need as much salt as the recipe says. I added the extra... sugar as some other people suggested. I can't image what they would have tasted like without it. The dough was WAY too gooey to roll out. I put them in the fridge for 3.5 hours and the freezer for a while and they still were very hard to cut into shapes no matter how fast I tried to work. I definitely WILL NOT be making these cookies again. I don't even think I'm gonna eat the ones I just made. Read more
