Just made a batch of these during this horrendous snowstorm -- they are, by far, the BEST sugar cookies I've ever made (or had)! They are light as a feather and just melt in your mouth!

These cookies came out great. Only had 4 oz. of butter, so I added a little oil.. only made 2 dozen. Topped cookies with icing made with powdered sugar and a tiny bit of water. YUMMY!

These cookies were awesome and the fact that we did not have to refrigerate overnight was very convenient!! For St. Pat's we added a little mint flavoring and green food coloring!

Hi Jean,

Sometimes if your vanilla has been on the shelf for awhile, you can add a little more of the vanilla. Or try storing a vanilla bean or citrus peels in your sugar. I sometimes add other flavorings such as orange oil, coconut extract, almond oil, etc. And some liqueurs are great when you want to kick up the flavor in cookies - most of the alcohol bakes off.

I use 1/2 tsp. almond extract and 1/2 tsp. vanilla instead of just 1 tsp. vanilla, to add more flavor. They are fabulous!!!

Robyn (New Jersey) says:

They were awesome but they took about 15-20 mins to bake... they were the correct size and my oven was at the right temperature....

Best if you sprinkle powdered sugar on top. My family loves them!

Jordan (California) says:

Very good! But how I changed the recipe was by I put 1 cup of white sugar instead of confectioners' sugar, and I put the confectioners' sugar on the outside of the dough... It was great!!

My mother's favorite cookie recipe was very similar to this, but I believe it had some cream of tartar. She called it her tender sugar cookie recipe, as opposed to the to the tougher cookie she made and frosted. If you substitute granulated sugar for the powdered sugar it turns into one of those tougher cookies.

LEP (Rhode Island) says:

Pretty good sugar cookies, but are they supposed to crumble a lot? My 19 month old son loves them, but it ends up needing more cleaning afterwards...not a big deal, but would be nice. Besides that, my husband and I love them!

Same, they are messy.

Jennifer (Kentucky) says:

I used granulated sugar and crisco instead just because thats what I had on hand and they turned out perfect! So light and crispy! I also used a sugar coated fork to press the dough down!

Steph (Florida) says:

these were awful! I followed every step and made sure every measurement was right and they tasted like play dough!! Im very upset.
