Meet the Cook: While I usually bake these cookies for Christmas, I'll also make them at Valentine's Day (in the shape of hearts, with messages written in frosting), at Thanksgiving (shaped like turkeys), at Halloween (pumpkins), etc. Children like to help out with the decorating - at least, our youngsters (11 and 9) do! -Cynthia Ettel, Hutchinson, Minnesota

I don't typically enjoy sugar cookies, but these are delicious! I made them as holiday gifts for friends and they were a hit all around! Cannot wait to make them again this year.

Best sugar cookie recipe I have made. Will definitely make again. Large amount of cookies in a batch. Great taste.

I got this recipe years ago, and its the best sugar cookie recipe that I've ever tried, so I don't even bother to try any other recipes for sugar cookies anymore, this one wins hands down! The extra vanilla in it makes all the difference. I make at least a triple batch for Christmas and they disappear before anything else every year!
