    I browsed about a dozen recipes before deciding on this one. Thank you! I love it. I did make one adjustment though. First, it's only me here so I cut the recipe in half. Well I don't have vanilla extract so I mixed a half tablespoon of honey with a half tablespoon of heavy cream. A quick taste test said it was okay, so I added it in. Yummy!

    If your batter is too dry, then try adding 2 tbsp of milk. I did this and the cookies out wonderfully! Will definitely make these again.

    They are different colored cookies because this same picture is used for Martha's Chocolate Cookies recipe.

    Our family LOVES these! I've never been able to make the perfect cut sugar cookie until I tried this recipe and watched the video. It turns out I was always trying to roll my dough to thin. I can't wait to dazzle everyone with Christmas trees this upcoming holiday season! :-)

    I've used this recipe since 1998 for my large sugar cookies, it came with my Martha Cookie Decorating Kit. I don't know how many times I've given this recipe to friends. Everyone loves it! I've found it easy to work with.

    Is it just me or is this dough difficult to work with? Mine turned out very dry and crumbly and was a challenge to roll out. It tastes good but more trouble than it's worth.
