I love, love this recipe! I only came across it about six weeks ago, but I’ve made dozens and dozens of these cookies since then. The only thing I change is to add a little almond extract and reduce the vanilla extract by the same amount. I was looking for a recipe where I didn’t have to chill the dough. The cookies come out perfect every single time.

This is my favorite cookie recipe! I’ve used this one for years and won’t try anything else. I would like to know if you have ever froze the raw dough?

Love, love, love this recipe. I was looking for a new recipe because I hate having to chill the dough. Who has time for that? This recipe delivered on its promise that the cookies would keep their shape without chilling. Plus they taste so good. I made these for a bake sale at school and they sold out so quickly and I got a lot of compliments on them.

Excellent recipe! I added zest from one orange and orange extract. I did chill after shaping cookies. They kept their shape and had an delicious flavor and texture. Not too sweet after adding royal icing.

I love to bake and will do most anything, but until I found this recipe, I avoided making sugar cookies! This is a game changer especially when added to the buttercream icing! I agree with you! The more vanilla, the better. Thanks

Hands down the best sugar cookie recipe ever! Every time I bake a batch I end up getting requests for the recipe (and when I do, I share the link to this webpage because I love how you gave step by step instructions WITH PHOTOS)! This cookie keeps it’s shape beautifully so there is no question as to what it’s supposed to be when it comes out of the oven and is frosted. How many times have you looked at a platter of home baked christmas cookies and wondered, “Is that cookie supposed to be a Santa hat? Or maybe a stocking?” and then come to find out it was supposed to look like a reindeer?? LOL Well, with this cookie dough there is no question as to what shape you have made. Shape aside, because in the grand scheme of things when it comes to cookies, the presentation is only second to the taste and these cookies taste AMAZING! I always make them exactly as the recipe is written, no substitutions, and just like the recipe says, the dough does not need to be refrigerated beforehand which is great! I wish there was a way to post a photo of my cookies with my review so you can see how nice they come out. Just take my word for it and use this recipe! FYI I bought a rolling pin from Amazon that had those little measuring spools you could interchange to get the same dough thickness – I then rolled the cookies out using the 3’8 size like the recipe suggests.

Where has this recipe been all my life? Every year I ask my friends on Facebook about a recipe for sugar cookies. Every year I try a new one that someone has recommended…and every year my family begs me to stop because they are horrible! Until this year! I asked again this year and a friend tagged your website with the ABSOLUTE BEST SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE EVER!!! It worked! It finally worked! My daughter came home from work and said “oh you tried sugar cookies again?” I said “I promise you are going to love them.” And with a chuckle, she tried an non-iced cookie. Her words “oh my, they are really good!” I am so excited about your recipe and finally helping me achieve and master the sugar cookie! My family loves them without icing for now. I’m getting ready to try your royal icing recipe today and sit and ice/decorate these wonderful tasting cookies! I just can not praise this recipe enough! I don’t usually write reviews, but after years of trying and failing, your recipe is definitely one that will be used for many years to come and it deserves to be reviewed as the best recipe ever!!!!

We love this recipe. My husband would like them a little sweet. Is it possible to add a little more sugar? I don’t want them to lose their shape when we bake.
