Very easy recipe. Nice solid cookie to decorate. I brushed the first batch with the egg white and they came out with a shine to them. That was nice, but I thought, why do that when you're going to frost them. So I did the second batch without, which was nice too! They had a pleasant light flavor which is what you want for a deocrated cookie (my opinion). I would have rated this a 5 for being exactly what it is, an easy, solid cookie to decorate except it says it makes 5 dozen.... I made about 2 dozen large cookies and about 2 dozen tiny cookies (I had a little Noah's ark set). So if I make this recipe again, I would double it to get a decent amount of regular size cookies.

I was looking for a soft, chewy sugar cookie and really like this recipe with cornstarch. I used a little less flour and they turned out great!
