This is now my go-to cut out cookie recipe. So easy to work with and holds the shape of any type of cookie cutter! I'm adding this to our family cookbook so that we can always find it easily. Thanks for sharing!

I made these cookies last night and brought them to my High School, which everyday this week I brought a different type of cookie (in mass amount) and everyone LOVED these! I made around 50 cookies and they were gone in the first 10 minutes of class! Thank you! I didn't use icing and they tasted phenomenal Thank you from Sheldon High School!

Well, I made 12 dozen of these cookies for a Christmas party and I have to say I agree with the majority other reviewers - this is the BEST sugar cookie recipe I have ever made. The sweet vanilla flavor is delightful and I too prefer them w/o any frosting although I did frost most of them since they were for children who don't always appreciate simplicity at it's best. Since I had to bake so many, I chose an easy route. I simply divided each batch of cookie dough in half. Rolled each half into a log, wrapped in wax paper and refrigerated for 2 hours. Then I sliced them about 1/2 inch thick and baked for 10 minutes. When they are just beginning to brown on the bottom, they are perfect if you want a soft cookie. Thanks Mean!!

These cookies were awesome! I've made several different recipes for sugar cookies over the years, and thought my last recipe couldn't be beat. But this recipe did. Great taste - and it's the first time I've EVER rolled cookies out and didn't have to flour the board or the cutters! Awesome dough to work with! Thank you.
