Jill says:
This is very bland. Needs butter and something else for flavor. After first batch in oven, tried to add flavor, gave up and threw out. cookies takes like bland bread.

Hi Jill,
Sorry to hear that. Cookie dough is nearly always salvageable unless overbaked. If too dry, add shortening or milk, if dough is too sticky, add a little flour. If dough is bland, add more flavorings; vanilla, lemon rind, spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, mace, cloves, ginger, etc. Liqueurs such as brandy, rum, kahlua, anisette, amaretto, strega, etc. The additions you can add to punch up the flavor are endless.
Just out of curiosity, did you use all of the flavorings called for in the recipe or did you omit some of them? A recipe with 2 tsp. vanilla and 2 tsp. lemon rind in only 2 cups of flour wouldn't be bland unless your vanilla was a few years old and you didn't use fresh lemon rind. Maybe it's time to toss out the old spices!
Happy Holidays,
