Can this recipe be used for cut outs? I read through other reviews, but not clear. Also, are there any changes needed for higher altitudes?

These are terrific cookies:) I doubled the recipe, rolled them in red & pink sugars for Valentine's day. My husband gave them his "thumbs up" stamp of approval, he's taking them to work on Monday for the shop to enjoy!

These were very easy to make and tasty. I used colored sugar to coat the cookies and they looked very festive.

Do these cookies freeze well?

These are the best sugar cookies I have ever made! I love how you do not have to refrigerate the dough.

I have been looking for this recipe. I used to make this growing up. We called them "Swedish Sugar Cookies". They are so wonderful!! They are wonderful with a big glass o cold milk to dunk them in.

I made these today and they are excellent! I used the middle size scoop from Pampered Chef and then pressed them with a glass dipped in sugar. This made 24 3 inch cookies. I can't imagine how someone got 5 dz.

So good, nice and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I used an "opal" sanding sugar= beautiful, simple and delicious. I agree with an earlier rating that this recipe makes about 3 dozen not the five. (I used an exact 1 inch cookie baller) so I dont think I made them too large. Enjoyable I'll be making them often.

Roll in colored sugar to match the party, or add a few sprinkles to the top before flattening with a glass. Super easy and delicious recipe.

These wonderfully soft tasty sugar cookies are very simple! My 12 year old daughter made them for her 4H project and they turned out beautifully!

O love sugar cookies and I have been looking for a good recipe for awhile now. These are delicious! They have just the right crispiness on the outside and soft inside. Rolling them in colored sugar for the holidays would make them perfect for cookie trays and gifts.This is a keeper.

Love these! Finally, a simple sugar cookie recipe that only requires ingredients I always have on hand in my kitchen. I love that I don't have to refridgerate the dough or roll it out. These are simple, but good.

I loved this recipe!! 1 cup of butter instead of the 1/2 of shortening and they tasted so great. I also rolled the dough in sugar and cinnamon to make snickerdoodles. I am making them again today bc they went soo fast. Thanks!

These cookies turned out so nice! I used bright green sugar to roll them in for Saint Patricks day. Perfect. Thanks for sharing.

Great cookie just make one batch at a time. Doesn't work out as good making multiple batches at once.

I substituted margarine for shortening, and they came out fine. They are light and yummy! Not sure what the other 2 posts mean about cut out, mine came out as pictured using the roll and flatten method as described. My boys love them!

These have to be the best sugar cookies ever! I disagree with how much this makes because I get nowhere near 5.5 dozen. I get approximately 3 (a little over). Thanks for this great recipe ;)

Where is the cutout recipe? The baking directions here couldn't be for the cutout cookies shown.

What happened to the photo and the directions? "Roll in balls and flatten with glass". The photo exhibits a cut-out cookie. Am I missing something here?
