I liked this recipe but it took half to make the sugar and the other half to make the cherry surprise so it did not stretch to make as many cookies as I had thought it would. Still a good recipe. Next week I am going to make it again and roll them into balls then Christmas sugars to make even shorter work of Christmas baking! I have a Kitchen Aid and this was fine but it would be hard on a hand mixer motor.

The only thing I would recommend is mixing the dough with the flour until it starts to thicken, then add the rest by hand because my stand mixer started smoking it was so thick!!

This is a very tasty cookie recipe and I've made this 2 years in a row at Christmas. The only change I'd make is adding 5 eggs instead of 2 - 2 eggs for 8 cups of flour is not enough!

Whenever I make sugar cookies, I have always added 1 or 2 teaspoons of 'orange extract'.I have 4 children aged 39 to 46 and this is the only way they were eat them. Also, add to butter frosting. Makes a really extra good flavor.
