I baked these for Christmas and they were fantastic! They were delicious!!

I don’t know where it went wrong! After I put them in the oven I noticed that the batter was melting and there was a fine layer of butter over the rest of the dough. The only reason I gave them 2 stars was because I left them in the oven while it was cooling and they turned out as one big cookie that tasted pretty good

Very yummy, put green and red sprinkles on for Christmas. I put a cupcake liner between my palm and the ball of cookie dough, worked well to keep the dough from sticking.

The cookies were easy to make with my Kitchen Aid and it was delicious! I would put a little less orange zest next time. It tasted better than the Pillsbury Sugar cookie dough that I would buy
at the store. Yum Yum!

These were delicious! But in a way not so good. When i was about to place them on the cookie sheet they got all crumbly and difficult. They tasted awesome and were gone in 2 days but mabey more liquids? I made another batch and added about 1/4 cup more milk and they tasted just as awesome but were much easier! Thanks! -Snowfluff

Very disappointed with this recipe. Used for Halloween cookies. Cutter cookies break easily. Most importantly the flavor was blah.

These were the easiest sugar cookies that I’ve ever made. I had some ripe strawberries so I incorporated them into the cookies (mix sugar + strawberries in a food processor. Scrumptious!
Susan Herrera
Good but too much butter for my taste.
