8/14/2012I have made these a few times, and they are absolutely delicious!!
I prefer the chewy version, and not the crispy crunchy one. They're really easy to make. These cookies are great. I will continue making them!

9/9/2011I did not like these! I made one change - I didn't have crisco - and maybe that made the difference, but I thought these were too sweet and not pretty enough to serve to guests. My husband loves cookies but I know these won't tempt him...

5/17/2011I made these for a fundraiser and they are amazing! They melt in your mouth. I've been making these and the Crunchy Sugar Cookies (also here on Fine Cooking) and can't decide which I like better; both are fantastic! I reserved a small plate for my husband and kids and they are getting rave reviews. I told the 10 year old that they were going to be sold at a bake sale and he asked if he could buy them! =) I have to agree with him that these may be the best cookies I've ever made.

2/19/2011These were easy and good. I did not roll them in sugar before baking and they were plenty sweet, In fact next time I would probably use 3/4 c. sugar and not add the extra 2 tablespoons.

2/2/2011Yum Yum! These cookies are great. They flattened out nicely and were super chewy. I can't eat eggs so I substituted the one egg with ground flax (1TBsp ground flax and 3TBsp water) and added more almond (1tsp). I also used brown sugar instead of white and spelt flour. I skipped the vegetable shortening and just used all butter. The dough was too wet to roll so I just spooned it out onto the cookie sheet. Will definitely use this recipe again and next time will turn it into a chocolate chip cookie!

1/22/2011I also spied this and made them right away. I added a little more almond extract than the recipe called for and loved the end result. Simply delicious. These are a winner.

1/4/2011I have tried dozens of sugar cookie recipes over the years, none of which were up to par (according to my four little kids). They were tasteless, they were hard, they were flat, they were just wrong wrong wrong. When I spied this recipe tonight and told the kids about it, they begged me to make the cookies right away! So, at 9:00 pm on a school night I just finished baking the first batch. And we have a winner for sure! Soft, chewy, delicious. Absolutely perfect (and incredibly easy). My kids and I thank you!
