I made these mainly because I had no time to wait for dough to chill. It was a wonderful recipe! We made 19 pumpkin cut-out cookies with one batch of this recipe. I will definitely make them again. They're delicious (topped with orange buttercream icing, chocolate chips, and candy corns).

I must admit... My expectations were not high because I had never made roll-out cookies before and was too impatient to try the recipes that call for chill time. I was sure that I would pay for my laziness. But these were delicious and easy to work with. I used almond extract and it added a nice extra flavour. Thanks for an excellent, easy and satisfying recipe!

Wonderful, luscious, buttery cookies! I normally avoid making roll-out cookies because they are time-consuming. This recipe was extremely easy to put together (I have a stand-up mixer and didn't even have to add the flour by hand), and as stated in the recipe, there is absolutely no chilling necessary. The dough was easy to roll-out, and the dough did not stick to my metal cookie cutter. I was able to make 24 - 26 pumpkin cookies (Wilton pumpkin cookie cutter). Make sure you don't roll your dough any thinner than 1/8-inch or they will be very thin. I recommend using a hot cookie sheet with your very first batch of cookies - I started with a cold cookie sheet and my first batch was much flatter than the rest of my batches (and not as pretty). Frosted these wonderful cookies with [recipe=19649]Cookie Frosting[/recipe]. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was a very easy cookie recipe. I liked not having to wait for the dough to chill before rolling them out. I used these for my daughters preschool Halloween party. Great recipe I'll have to use it again for Christmas.
