This is my Grandma's EXACT recipe for sugar cookies! I have a batch of them in the oven right now, and they are my favorite! They definitely melt in your mouth. I use my Pampered Chef small melon baller to make these all the same size...then I flatten with the bottom of a glass, and sprinkle with colored sugars! YUM!

I have great memories of making sugar cookies with my mom every year when I was a kid. Now that I'm starting a family of my own I was looking for a great recipe that would turn out just like mom's. (Because, as everyone knows, mom's cookies are always the best!) This recipe was really great! I was so happy to find that they tasted just like I remembered! Soft but not chewy, lightly sweet but not overwhelming. The only problem was that they weren't much good for cookie-cutting. ^^; The dough was kind of oily and just wouldn't firm up. (Even so, I ended up cutting them out individually on the palm of my hand, which was the only way they wouldn't fall apart.) One of the greatest things was how easy the cookies were to get off the pan when they came out of the oven. ^_^ Overall, I'd call this a wonderful recipe, even if it wasn't quite was I was looking for. Now I just have to find some to roll out, though I'm afraid any I find won't taste nearly this good!

A light and fluffy cookie, not too sweet, just perfect. Flattened them with a potato masher and it gave them a nice design on top. Kids loved them. Will make again and again. Thanks for posting

This is an easy, light, crispy cookie. And they look beautiful too. I experimented by using pure lemon or almond extract as well,which definitely gave them a nice flavor. I gave it four stars instead of five because I prefer a more dense, chewy cookie. If you like a crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth type cookie, this one's for you.
