Does anyone know how many cookies this batch of dough makes? My Mother in Law used to make these, but her recipe doesn't say how many it makes.

For cutouts 1/2 of dough makes about 20-24 and you can add flavoring raspberry - lemon. They're great. Was a Betty Crocker recipe. Have used more than 45 years and my mom before me. I make it with half sugar and half Splenda just fine.

My mother made these for years, mine always spread, were not soft and fluffy. I've been struggling with these for years trying to duplicate. So today I thought I'm going to try self-rising flour as a last resort. Which equates to 1 tsp of baking powder for each cup of flour, along with the needed salt. To my surprise this works! Use Self-Rising flour and omit the baking powder and salt. Self rising flour is typically a lower protein flour that is more tender as well. Or stick with all purpose and increase the baking powder to 1 tsp per cup of flour. Salt is correct if using AP flour.
