Excellent cookie. Very good with a little powder sugar glaze.
good recipie...i added crushed walnuts, really good!
Not much flavor even added pumpkin spice. Texture is not very good either tried less time. Won't make again.
I made these for my son’s high school graduation party. I can’t tell you how many people asked me who made them (as in a bakery) and then subsequently asked me for the recipe. I’m not a big sugar cookie fan but these are awesome. So easy to decorate too.
Love this recipe- I bring them to work and they are always a huge hit. I do add 1/2 tsp of salt. I make a variation of this cookie buy adding candied pecans and topping the cookie with a whole candied pecan half. Yum!
I love these cookies, my personal favorite. Make a glaze or a frosting and it sends them over the top!
Really enjoyed this recipe, super easy to make and as per the other comments it's easy to add in additional flavours. I broke it into 3 batches, 1st as per the recipe, 2nd with coconut through them and 3rd batch had almonds and raisins. All delicious, great recipe to play about with. Thanks.
It looks like my review didn't come thru complete
I haven't actually made these yet, but wanted to answer Jersey's question from June 4, 2019. I realize it's too late to help for that date, but if anyone else ever gets caught without cream of tartar, you should know that baking powder (which most bakers are likely to have on hand) consists of 2 parts cream of tartar and 1 part baking soda. So, for this recipe, you could use 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking powder PLUS 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
Very soft and VERY bland. The taste is floury with not much else. I added chocolate fudge frosting to try to help them out. Will not use again and will go back to my stand by sugar cookie recipe.
