    These cookies were AWESOME!!! I made these as a gift for someone who almost didn't get them. That is how good they were. I was put off by the fact that I had to refrigerate the dough, but I will now make this my "go-to" recipe for butter cookies. I read that some people had difficulty cutting the cold dough, but the dough should have been the same consistency of cold butter. Do not cut with a butter knife, use a chef knife, or flatten with rolling pin and use cookie cutters.
    Thank you Neely's! Before your recipe, my butter cookies were..."special." Now, they are AWESOME!

    These are delicious, light, crisp cookies that taste simply of butter. I let the dough warm a little on the counter and rolled between sheets of floured waxed paper. I am making a second batch now, as I know these will be a favorite with my family. My first Neely recipe and it won't be my last.

    uh..not the best..kind of bland and boring. Mother gave me a better recipe that is awesome. Why didn't i call mom first:..LOL. Sorry..I love the Neeleys but this recipe is not a winner. My suggestion is go ahead and add an entire pound of butter...powdered sugar on top maybe?....will not make again.

    These are amazing!!! I brought them to a family reunion, and everyone raved about them. I followed the recipe as it states, and I had no problems. I baked mine around eight minutes, and because they were smaller than the cookies shown. If you use a smaller cutter, definitely watch for burning. They were super easy and super fun to make. A crowd favorite of every age, definitely a recipe to save!

    These cookies were good, however, I found them to be a little crumbly. I couldn't get them to mix, so I added two egg whites and that helped the dough hold together better. They were eaten fast!

    These were excellent cookies to use on cookie plates for Christmas. They froze great, and came out just as fresh as the day I baked them. They are very addictive...can't eat just one!

    My family loved these cookies! The dough was easy to make and easy to work with, plus I always have the ingredients on hand. My kids loved helping me roll , cut out, and decorate. Thank you Neelys!!
