Rated 2 out of 5 by denisespeigle from I made these cookies and planned to roll them out, sprinkle with colored sugar, then cut in slices... I made these cookies and planned to roll them out, sprinkle with colored sugar, then cut in slices as the recipe stated. I refrigerated the dough for one hour,but when I attempted to roll the dough up, it began to fall apart and would not stick to it self. The roll was way too soft. Ended up with cookies mixed with colored sigar. Luckily I saved 1/2 of the dough to roll out and cut into shapes instead. Next time I'll make my old stand-by sigar cookie recipe instead.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Rarmstrong23 from I was so excited to make these for a Christmas Party. I was so excited to make these for a Christmas Party. I followed the recipe exactly, except for refrigeration time (mine went 1 hour). I could not do anything with them! The dough was too sticky, not nearly enough flour in the recipe. However, the dough was very tasty. I may attempt again with more flour this time.

Rated 2 out of 5 by erinlocklear8878 from Flavor is awesome! Flavor is awesome! My kids will eat the dough all day. Not enough flour for the recipe, though. Couldn't do anything with it because it was too sticky. What a pain, especially since we were so excited to try it after tasting the dough :(

Rated 4 out of 5 by tbrobin from I made the Mosaic Glazed Sugar Cookies this week and they were a huge hit! I made the Mosaic Glazed Sugar Cookies this week and they were a huge hit! After refrigerating the cookie dough, I fell asleep and remembered them several hours later, so mine had a while longer to sit. I'm not sure if that made a difference from the previous posts or not, but I didn't seem to have any trouble. I would definitely make them again, and found the recipe and icing simple enough to use as a project with my grandchildren.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jnamio23 from Great if you know what you're doing I was kind of thrown off by the reviews of this recipe, but if you learn from others mistakes it turns out great. I simply added 1/2 tsp of maple syrup for taste and an extra 1/2 cup of flour to the recipe and the cookies turned out great. I did the dough in halves and added red food coloring to one half as I mixed in the flour. I then flattened them out on plastic wrap and laid both doughs on one another, if you use to the plastic wrap to help roll the doughs together it makes it easier and less mess. I let the dough sit over night and when I woke up I was able to easily slice into the cookies without breaking or crumbling the dough. As long as you change the amount of flour and be patient, these cookies are definitely worth making.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Baby Nurse from New go to Cookie Dough! If you are having problems working with this dough, try again and leave it in the refrigerator for 3 hours. It is amazing and you will not be disappointed (make it the night before)!! My family, friends and work pals ate them so fast that I had to bake 2 more batches and hide some for me! Also, the dough is a great starter for many types of cookies that melt in your mouth! :) Great suggestion about dividing the dough in half and keep 1/2 in fridge while working with the other.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shellik from Loved these I added a half teaspoon of Almond extract as well as the vanilla. Tp preventthem from tasting like flour, use powdered sugar to roll out the cookies I sprinkled a lithe granulated sugar on top before baking. These turned out great! Very easy recipe.
