In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa! The touch extra flour used when rolling the dough out helps the cookies keep their shape a little better. :)

just wondering why you say don’t roll between sheets of parchment paper? I always do that, put in frig, and then cut out. It always works perfectly for me!

This is my go to recipe! I love how easy the dough is to work with and I end up with cookies that are adorable—even the last ones made from scraps . Often, it does take the dough much longer than 15 minutes to warm up to room temperature in my kitchen so that it doesn’t crack.

In reply to Connie. I'm disappointed to hear this, Connie! Are you at a high altitude that may be causing issues? How did your dough compare to mine in the video?

I tried making these twice following the instructions exactly. First time I measured using traditional cup measures and dough did not come together at all. Second time I weighed ingredients as suggested in comments and got a dough that came togethee more than first time but still too crumbly to work with. So disappointed, not to mention a huge waste of materials :(( Too much flour in this recipe

Cut these out in egg and bunny shapes for mini fruit pizza Easter treats and they worked perfectly! Only difference is I used the Madagascar bourbon vanilla bean paste I had in my pantry. Rolled them out to about 1/4 inch, baked for 10 minutes–perfection! Taste and texture were on point and they were a hit!

I made these for the first time in 2024 Christmas for my family. EVERY ONE loved them. They requested them for every holiday. Even my daughters ex asked this last Christmas, after the were no longer together, if I could send him and his 7 year old son some of them . They are a must have! Super EASY, Super DELICIOUS

In reply to Nicole. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Nicole! Is it crumbly out of the refrigerator or just when combining it. If it's from the refrigerator you can let it warm a little bit and that may help. If this is happening when mixing the dough you may have accidentally added a touch too much flour to the dough. I have an article on how to properly measure your flour that may be helpful for the future. :(

Sam,
Thanks for another great recipe. I make cookies weekly for my husbands construction crew. They now wait for Tuesdays for the new batch to show up. I try not to repeat cookies so there is always an element of surprise.
Keep up the great work!!!

In reply to Kimmy. Hi Kimmy! You could use lemon juice here if you'd like. :)

The cookies turned out amazing, other than it being a good recipe to replicate, the ingredients measurements being in each step is actually genius and everyone should do it that way, normally I scroll back and forth from the step to the quantities but this recipe author thought about that! BRAVO!!!

I am about to make this recipe for a very special occasion for our kiddos school. Previously when I have made sugar cookies (recipe from culinary textbook) the icing was made with lemon juice instead of milk. I do love the lemon flavor it added to the cookies. What is your thoughts on lemon juice verses using milk?

In reply to Roy. Hi Roy! I have honestly never used one so I can't say for sure. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. :)

Hello! Would this dough be strong enough to pass through a cookie sheeter?

My mom was the sugar cookie queen. My mother in law’s cookies were always my favorite. Your recipe is the very best of both!!! Love it!! Thanks for sharing.
