A really great sugar cookie. I used this recipe while I was babysitting yesterday and after an unknown about of cookies being consumed, the kid's parents thought she was never going to stop bouncing around from the sugar high she was on.

    I make these cookies in the log fashion which has made these the most foolproof cookies I have made. Just make sure to keep to the baking time as that is crucial to have chewy, not crunchy, melt in your mouth cookies. I have halved and doubled this recipe with no problem. The logs freeze really well so consider making more than you need for the next time you dont have time to start mixing and chilling.

    I don't bake much, but I was craving cookies the other day. I was happy to find a recipe in which I already had all of the ingredients at home. These were very tasty & my dh & I had a lot of fun decorating them. However, I didn't have any parchment paper. If you don't use parchment paper, I recommend removing the cookies from the pan before they cool off all the way. I found this out after my first batch stuck to the cookie sheet & I broke several of them trying get them off.

    These cookies came out very well, even though I accidentally mixed the sugar with the rest of the dry ingredients (I didn't read ahead to part 2) instead of with the butter. I used the almond and vanilla extracts together, and the flavor was great. I made these as Christmas cookies and I was concerned that they would get too hard because I decorated them and had to let the icing (cookie frosting #19649)dry before I could put them away. But I covered them with aluminum foil when I was done, and they turned out nice and soft. Everybody loved them.
