An excellent cookie and so tender. I thought we'd have to refrigerate the dough before forming into balls but it worked out ok without chilling. We used a small meatball (1-inch size) scoop and made about 5 dozen cookies.

Excellent cookies, I have but one 3'X 4' counter to work at; not having to roll these out was great and they were and I say were cause they are all gone...Fantastic

These are awesome. Very light and fluffy. I like my sugar cookies with lemon flavor, so I left out the vanilla and added the juice and grated rind of one lemon. Truly great cookies.

This is my Grandma's EXACT recipe for sugar cookies! I have a batch of them in the oven right now, and they are my favorite! They definitely melt in your mouth. I use my Pampered Chef small melon baller to make these all the same size...then I flatten with the bottom of a glass, and sprinkle with colored sugars! YUM!

Thank you for this one. They were very easy to make. I used a small scoop to form them, and the recipe made like 36 good-sized cookies. Delicately crispy on the outside, tender inside. Great. Also, I liked the idea of a recipe using oil instead of shortening--to cut back on trans-fat.

these were great! I used soy flour n water instead of eggs... and accidently omitted the baking soda but it still was yummy!

Delicious!! My goal was to find a sugar recipe that easily subbed margarine for butter -- so many do not. These are great!! Pefectly colored golden without burning on the bottom. Tasty too... especially when sandwiched together with some chocolate creme! I followed the recipe exactly, rolled 1.25" balls, and baked 70 cookies.

I live in Iowa (it's pretty awesome here) with my mom, dad, little sis, and little bro. I'm a senior in high school and will be going to Wartburg college next year to major in music education. I'm pretty busy with all my music activites but I love to cook. I also like to run! Cross Country is my favortie sport espesically since we have an awesome coach! Anyone who wants to run a real cross country race should check the Living History Farms race. I really like watching the Food Network, and other TV shows like Heros, Lost, SpongeBob, and Jimmy Neutron. Although I do not watch much TV, I do love to listen to the radio. I think I spend more time listening to the radio than watching the TV. I really like looking up recipes on this site; however, most of the time I look them up under my moms name (Charlotte J) because she is ALWAYS signed in.
