This is a really great sugar cookie recipe for cut-out cookies!!! It is so easy to roll out and the cookies bake up perfectly!!! I love the baking soda being added to the sour cream, it puffed up the sour cream and made for a light and fluffy cookie! You get to see the real chemistry on this one!!!! I did not taste the rose water and I used limoncello liqueur in place of the lemon extract and I didn't really taste that either. They did add good moisture to the dough though. I baked my cookies for just 9 minutes because I don't like any brown or crunchiness about my sugar cookies. Frosted them too with the Frosting for Sugar Cookies recipe by Deb's Recipes. I am searching for the perfect sugar cookie cut-out recipe and this one is definitely in the running for one of the best!!!! Thanks for the recipe!

LOVE the flavor of these cookies. The rose water and the lemon are perfect together. Very easy to make, too! I can't wait to share these with my family on Thanksgiving. Thank you for the recipe.

These cookies are simply delicious. Since using rose water which I think has a very suductive tastes and sends a romantic message to the brain when it hits the pallet, I went along with the whole romantic theme. I rolled out the dough and used a small heart shaped cookie cutter. After baking I spread strawberry jam on half of my little heart cookies and then topped with another heart shaped cookie, with my end result (a heart shaped cookie sandwich with strawberry filling in the middle. This would be really cute for valentines or any special ocassion. How more romantic can you get with a heart shapped cookie that has a wonderful hint taste of roses with a strawberry filling! You have the strawberries, hearts and roses all in one! Needless to say these babies have all been gobbled! The cookies tasted even better the next day. After letting the them rest over night all the flavours really pulled through. Thank you for the recipe!
