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.

I was looking for a light cookie to have with tea and this recipe is it!

I have no idea how people gave this recipe a bad review. My only thought is that they were so violently hungry while making the cookies they forgot to read/follow to a recipe in their impatience. (Using salted butter, really?

I'm not an experienced baker nor do I even own any of the fancy equipment the recipe calls for and my cookies came out deliciously. I just let the (unsalted butter get soft and hand mixed everything. I followed someone's suggestion of adding another teaspoon of vanilla extract. I even added a little dried rosemary to some of the dough and topped those cookies with lemon curd - fantastic!

My only suggestions would be to 1. eat a meal before making the cookies and 2. add the flour mixture in multiple (more than two parts so you can make sure the dough doesn't become too dry.

My kids and I made these for a bake sale.. We shaped them into hearts and frosted with pink royal icing. They were a hit! I loved the texture and the flavor!
