These cookies are the bomb! Soft, subtle & classy. Our next door neighbor used to make these for us (exact same recipe, I still have it!) when we were kids. She always had these on hand for us, and now I'm doing the same for my kids and our neighbors kids, too. They are simple but not boring...still divine.
This reciepe worked out okay if you like puffy cookies...which I do...if you want cut out cookies add about a cup of flour gradually mixing throughly and about 1/2 cup of sugar as well to make it sweeter because of the extra flour.

good taste, but more a more cakey type cookie. Baked up very "puffy" and tasted more like a muffin top. This sugar cookie dough is spoonable ONLY. This recipe not suitable for roll & cut out into shape type cookies.
