I have been using this recipe for several years now to make holiday cookies for Halloween and Christmas and our friends LOVE them! My husband's coworkers start asking for them WEEKS before the holidays, and I love decorating them with my kids. Sometimes I even substitute a little of the vanilla extract with some almond extract for a unique flavor. I've had lots of people ask me for the recipe as well. I've tried other 'sugar cookie' recipes but we just keep coming back to this one. Thank you for sharing! :o)

I personally did not care for these cookies, the frosting was way too sweet and the cookie really didn't have much a flavor at all. I ended up throwing out several because no one was eating them.
