Cookies tasted amazing. If you don’t like sweet cookies I wouldn’t suggest doing the extra sugar unless you really enjoy overly sweet things.

Very good. Sticky and messy to make, but worth the mess!

The cookies were great. The best simple recipe ever. My daughter loved them so much she wants to make another batch.

These cookies are great! I followed the recipe, then rolled them out to cut with cookie cutters. Rolled them to about 1/2” thickness and baked them for about 7 minutes at 350. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for another few minutes and you’ll end up with a lovely chewy cookie. Frost them with buttercream and you’re set!

I get requests to make these cookies all the time. They slightly saltier than regular sugar cookies and I think thats why they are so popular. The only thing I do differently is roll them in the fun colored sugars.

It’s very easy to overmix sugar and butter cookies were flat the first time I made them but tasted great especially if you like a sweet cookie.

Love these cookies! I had a cinnamon sugar mix already on hand so I rolled the cookies in that to add a little extra holiday flavor.

GREAT. I tend to add a little bit more vanilla, not a bad idea. Also, adding some cinnamon at the same time as the vanilla turned out well.

I just made them and they are delicious! I need to play around a little more with how long to leave them in for, but other than that, I love this recipe!
Olivia 12 Feb 2018

It came out really good. They’re very soft and sweet. Best time if you don’t want brown sides is 9 minutes. I will most definitely be using this recipe again.

I love sugar cookies & it's hard to find one that's just the right amount of chewy. This one was perfect!
Whats Up Dude 14 Jan 2018

It turned out doughy in the middle crispy on the out, if you ever had subway cookies that’s what they reminded me of.
Sabrina 10 Jan 2018

Very easy recipe, and delicious cookies. I rolled them in red and green sugar to give it a holiday appeal. (Made as gift for Christmas)
Diane Johnston 31 Dec 2017

Really good cookies! Easy to make. The dough is a little sticky, but the cookies come out with a slightly crispy exterior and chewy on the inside. Made it as written and added a touch of almond extract. Will definitely make these again.
