You need two eggs and vanilla.

Great tip Nikki! I made this recipe once before. This time I saw your comment and I added the egg and vanilla. More flavor and softer texture made it an even bigger hit with the kids. I substituded whole wheat flour and added blue food coloring for a whole grain, blue boost!

Used Nikki's recipe and tasted great however my cookies were really sticky and couldn't use the cup to flatten...?

Hi Randi,

You can add a few more tablespoons of flour at a time until your dough isn't so sticky (try not to add too much or the cookies will be tough).

Flour absorbs different amounts of moisture depending upon many different factors and a recipe normally needs to be adjusted for your own conditions.

I cut the recipe in half, used 1 egg and also added vanilla. They baked for 15 min and came out great!

I cut the recipe in half like Stacey mentioned and added almond extract instead of vanilla and an additional tablespoon or two of flour. YUMMY!! they come out more like shortbread than cookies but they're really delicious.

I made these and they were so good and I just eat the cookie dough.

You shouldn't eat the cookie dough because it has raw eggs in it and it could give you salmonella! (A sort of egg poisoning!!)

Everything in moderation. People have been eating raw cookie dough for eons! lol

I eat the cookie dough too, and even though it can make you sick, it's definitely worth it in my opinion. You have to live a little, you know :)

The sugar cooks the egg, so your not eating raw eggs, when you eat cookie dough, saw it on Food Network the other day.

My son and I tried this recipe today. It was alright. I have had better. My husband and kid are eating them, so they aren't that bad. An easy recipe though.

So I added the extra egg and vanilla, they came out really yummy. My husband and I experimented with half the recipe and added walnuts and semi sweet chocolate and it came out really really yummy. But it could use a little bit more sugar. We're making more tonight and I'm going to add about half a cup more sugar. But to resolve the sticky problem I did add a few more tablespoons of flour.

I made this recipe for my 12 year old daughter who loves sugar cookes. She said these were the best sugar cookies she's ever tasted. I made 1/2 recipe, but did add vanilla & frosted with homemade frosting. This will be our new recipe! Quick & Easy!

The cookies turned out very well. I added some dark chocolate mousse at the end, and it was very delicious! I also substituted the butter for 3/4 cup of olive oil.

Tried this recipe tonight and also had to add extra flour. I also experimented and added some lemon juice. Turned out to be really yummy!

I decided I was going to make these cookies with my little brother, we got to my place from Safeway with everything but flour, not wanting to walk in the snow back to Safeway were trying it out with only a cup and 3/4 of flour... hope it still turns out OK.

I really liked this recipe, suprisingly enough.I made some slight modifications, namely more sugar, and some cinnamon IN the dough and a sugar cinnamon mix on the outside as i flattened them. i do not like super browned sugar cookies so i did not let them brown around the edges. super good and very easy!

I am makeing this recipie for a science project and I hope they turn out DELISH :) makeing them with pixy stix

Hi!I have a question for Deb (Oregon)! How much cinnamon do you add to the cookie dough mix?

Hey Blanche, I followed this recipe using Nikki's little advice and I also wanted some more kick, so I added 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to a small batch of dough and it added that nice little kick! I love this recipe and use it every year at Christmas!

Great recipe. Very easy. I love the addition of the extra egg and the vanilla.

These cookies were okay. I am a young baker and found it very dry . I would reccomend to put a touch of water. The two eggs did help but I would need more liquid. Anyone got a good frosting recipe?
