This is my go to recipe for all of my decorated cookies. I love the fact that the dough is not really sweet so when we decorate them with frosting and candies its not overly sweet

I added 1/4 cup more sugar than called for and this seemed to be a good sweetness. Also, I sprinkled the shaped cookies with sugar right before going into the oven. The dough started to get sticky quickly as we worked with it to cut out shapes. For the paint, I tried with 1/4 teaspoon water and without water. I liked it without the water better, but can see why you wouldn't put much on, it does melt down onto the other cookies, so I'll be careful the next time because I would definitely use this recipe again. The kids really enjoyed the painting.

The recipe went together well in reference to the mixing, and the taste is good, not too much sweetness. But these cookies are a pain in the neck to roll out. The dough was very crumbly, no matter it's temperature. Although I like the corn syrup paint recipe, I will not be using this cookie recipe again.

I used this for painted cookies and for filled cookies. Rolled out and rerolled quite a few times and the last cookies was just as short as the first rolling. However, yeild of 5 dozen is way optimistic. Try 3.

Be careful to not put paint on too thick and it does spread out a little in the oven.

The outcome was beautiful Sprinkle the painted cookies with sugar for a frosty look.

I am replacing dear old Mom's recipe with this one again next year/

My little sister and I were looking for a simple recipe for cookies. And we found this recipe. After about an hour of scrambling around the kitchen, we reached the conclusion that it was easy for kids. The cookies tasted a bit flour-y and not too sweet, and we found we had to add more sugar. But we probably just messed up :P The cookies looked really nice, and we only cooked them for about 7-8 minutes, not the 9-10 minutes the recipe suggested. Overall, an ok cookie recipe.

The dough became very dry and I had a hard time recovering it.
