I came across this in my Betty Crocker cookbook. I did a 1/2 recipe to see if I would like these cookies, low and behold - it's the cookie I've been looking for. Very soft throughout the cookie, not hard at all.

This is a great sugar cookie recipe. I added colored decorating sugar on the top of the cookies, also. We loved them!

When I followed the recipe directly the cookies tasted like flour cookies instead of sugar cookies. I double the regular and powdered sugar and use less flour on the second batch and it was wonderful and delicious. I added flour until it came to the state of cookie dough. I just love sweet sugar cookies for the family. I had no problem with them eating the second batch. It still was easy to roll in hand and flatten out.

This recipe made possibly the best sugar cookies ever. They were an absolute hit. The picture (which shows cookies with fluttery ends, rather than being circular shaped) almost turned me off from this recipe, but they turned out perfect. They looked awesome and tasted even better. I normally find sugar cookies too bland, so I doubled the vanilla extract I added.

I left the 1/4 cup sugar off at the end. I mixed colored icing, and let them decorate away. Very easy to make, and kid friendly :)
