It’s decent, does taste more like a sweet biscuit. My dough was not stiff enoough for cookie cut outs…

We put cream cheese frosting on them & they were just right in sweetness. These were really easy & fuss free to make.

This is the perfect sugar cookie recipe I’ve been searching for. I love that the dough doesn’t have to be refrigerated before rolling it out, and it really holds its shape well particularly for cutout cookies. This is going on my list of “go to” recipes!
James Garcia
They tasted great and I haven’t even frosted them yet! One note is that they do not spread at all like other cookies i’ve made before, but I am fine with that. Will definitely make again.

This recipe has got to be the best sugar cookie recipe ever! So easy and the cookies came out with just right amount of sweetness. My husband and I loved them.
