These are awesome cookies!!! So in heaven ! Only they taste like shortbread cookies!! I don't mind that though. This is my go to recipe when I make cookies from now on!!! I am so confused by why some dont agree. I guess it's all a matter of opinion. I ate some plain and I thought it was delicious!! I made mine on the the thick side and they turned out firm on the surface yet perfect soft all the while holding a nice dense texture. My dough didn't seem too try. My only guess is other may have made mistakes along the way thinking it wouldn't make a difference. If your confused by all the reviews.... Guess you'll have to give it go yourself!!! Just follow the recipe exactly! If you don't agree....then at least you know what recipe you won't be trying next time or you may just have your favorite ever!!!

delish! the dough was dry, very difficult to make into a disc to chill, so I added about 1/2-1 teaspoon of milk and it was perfect! I also added a glaze of just powdered sugar, milk and vanilla and they were amazing!

My cookies turned out great--and I followed the recipe to a T! I agree with others that following the recipe correctly (including unsalted butter, all the waiting/chilling, etc. is kind of a requirement before you plan to review a recipe :D And well worth the effort for my part... I have perfectly-shaped, firm but light/crispy and delicious Halloween cookies waiting for their frosting. The only reason I gave it a 4 vs 5--they really taste more like a buttery shortbread than an actual sugar cookie. Really great for frosting or icing though!!!

These are a cookie that are a wonderful base for royal. While I personally would not eat them plain, I find them to be the perfect base for pipe-and-flood cookies. Compliments on taste and texture every time.

I believe with the older ratings on here, these users quite possibly simply failed to research what finished product would suit their purpose. Quite frankly, you can look at the photo attached and know it's a cookie that most likely would require icing.


There is NO salted butter called for in this recipe. Please don't replicate the mistakes of another users and blame it on the recipe contributor. I would advise one to read recipes and steps beforehand. It saddens me to see one give a poor rating for another's product because they themselves cannot manage their own time or follow instructions. Roll-and-cut dough needs to be refrigerated and the cut cookies set to take the best shape! :

I almost gave up on this recipe before trying it (because of the negative responses, but I'm so glad that I tried it anyway. It was so easy (I don't even own a mixer!. Yes, you have to wait a while for the dough to refrigerate, but read a book, watch a tv show while you're waiting - not a big deal! The cookies were simple and delicious - perfect for decorating.

I love this recipe! It is the perfect cookie for decorating with royal icing. The cookie isn't very sweet so its perfect with icing on it...not over sweet.
I find the recipe to be pretty simple, yes it takes long because of the refrigeration (but what rolled sugar cookie isn't, but it is easy to make. It is also VERY easy to roll out between the parchment paper and a lot less messy!
I've made this cookie several times for favors for bridal showers, baby showers, adult and kids birthday parties. Everyone thinks the cookies come from a bakery.
