If I could give this recipe a -5 stars I would. It was absolutely horrible. The cookies, were rubbery and tasted like floury paste.....just so bad! My kids wouldn't even eat them. I threw them all down the garabage disposal and made regular sugar cookies. Don't bother with this one!

I made this with my children, not only was it super easy, the kids loved it, AND it was tasty! We made our own icing.

I loved this recipe, I use to make sugar cookies with my grandma and these taste just as good. Plus the recipe is so easy and the cookies stay soft. I like to put cake frosting on the tops of them which makes them yummier. I buy vanilla frosting and stir in a little food color to give it a more festive look.

I ROLLED THE DOUGH A LITTLE THINNER THAN WHAT WAS CALLED FOR AND THE COOKIE WAS A LITTLE CRISPER. I WOULD MAKE AGAIN

This recipe was disgusting. It did not taste very good at all. I would not make this cookie again.

I recently made these for Hanukkah, and they were terriffic. I made them ahead of time and froze them and then frosted them the night beofre my party. I have already made it again for another party this coming up weekend!

Really delicious, but the dough is extremely soft and must be kept COLD or the cookies will lose their shape. I needed to use LOTS of powdered sugar (instead of flour) to roll them out, but it added a nice sweetness. I suggest refrigerating the dough in 5 small balls in the fridge and using just one ball at a time. Also, putting the cookie sheets in the fridge while you're waiting to put them in the oven helps.

This is the first recipe out of a few I've tried that I can actually roll out and work with! It does taste a bit pastry like, but it has a mild, nice flavour. It would be nice if it tasted like a traditional sugar cookie, but it's so nice to be finally able to roll out the dough and use the cookie cutters. I will be making this again.
