This turned out amazing! I added 1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla extract and it was very good, I Love the chewiness and the softness of the cookie. Definently making this again!

They're good. Nothing amazing. Recommend adding a bit of vanilla extract. My fiancé likes them👍

Unbelievably tasty! I used raw cane sugar to roll the dough in. Not sure it made a difference. Nevertheless, the sugary “crust” was nearly as great as the cookie itself.

Great recipe if you don’t have vanilla extract. I don’t have a mixer but I did a double boil situation (too impatient to wait for butter to soften). Added the egg when it cooled then switched from whisk to spatula for dry ingredients. Worked it like biscuit dough on a cutting board. Nice hearty sugar cookies....Yum!

Very easy to make as you dont need to roll them out, and a good sugar cookie!!
I did mash the cookie ball down and add more decorations before baking.The recipie says make a ball and bake-
It needs to be mashed down to the thickness you like.
Kids ate them all up!! Making more today!

They tasted like sweet biscuits and look puffy. They look nothing like the picture.

Great! I added two drops of vanilla and coconut extract, I then spread a little peanut butter on top instead of frosting. Yum.

I only had one baking sheet so they came out as one big glob but after cutting them they tasted great. P.S. I added a touch of maple syrup instead of vanilla because I heard it tasted better that way.

It a good recipe, although, they’re bland. Vanilla extract wouldn’t be bad to add in the mix.

Great! The family loved them! Nice and soft. I had vanilla to give it more of flavor.

This is a great recipe to make with kids it’s simple and the kids loved helping and rolling the dough.

it was ok but didn't have enough flavor and you should put frosting on it to make it better maybe 😉 so yee

Easy recipe. The first batch i made was more of a practice run.. 🤦♀️ But the second batch turned out to be pretty good! I added cinnamon to the sugar on top to give them a little more flavor, I'll probably experiment a little more with this recipe in the near future!

Wow! Although the dough was difficult to work with - very crumbly - the cookies very light, buttery, and perfect amount of sugar! I would definitely make these again.
