I make these cookies for my family and our neighbors every Valentine’s Day. The heart-shaped treats stay soft for at least a week, and they look so pretty frosted bright pink and then piped with lacy frosting.—Carolyn Walton, Smoot, Wyoming

The recipe it self needs more flour...and then becasue you add more flour you need about 1 1/2 cups of sugar. if you wanted it more of a sugar cookie like sweetness than 1 3/4 cup.....but even after the 1 hr of chilling it still was a little soft so we had to add even MORE flour....but it still comes out fine! :)

Excellent cookies!!! My kids and I made these for St. Patrick's Day and they turned out Fantastic! The dough was easy to make and it rolled out nicely. Soft and moist when baked. I altered the recipe just a little, instead of using the 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla, I used 1 tsp. of vanilla and 1/2 tsp. of lemon extract. This recipe is definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

I used Crisco sticks for shortening and the cookie dough came out just fine. But the taste of these cookies was very bland. I even used a quarter cup more sugar because of the reviews, but it didn't help. I didn't frost them, but used sugar sprinkles before baking. Still weren't very tasty. I won't make them again.

Absolutely love this recipe! It reminds me of the sugar cookies my grandmother would make at Christmas. I make them year round for various occasions. Delicious!

A question really...what do you use for "shortening"? I think of Crisco when I think of shortening. Can Crisco baking sticks be used?

I was disappointed with this recipe. chilled the dough for several hours and it was too sticky to work with.

Loved these cookies. So soft. I don't like crunchy sugar cookies,would rather eat soft ones. I thought it had plenty of flavor. Will be making them again.

This recipe is Great and to all of you out there who are complaining that it has no flavor because it isn't made with butter, have you ever heard of butter flavored shortening??? Maybe you should try that instead.
