I have been making this cookies since 2007/08. We absolutely think it's the best! :) Thank you Martha.

This was great. We make it every year for our annual cookie exchange. :D

Love this recipe! I added green food coloring and sprinkles for St. Patrick's day. My family loved them! I will definitely be making these again!

The dough was very soft and difficult to work with. The dough tasted fantastic with the brandy added--but that flavor did not transfer to the cooked cookie! There are other recipes that have better--and better tasting--results.

I made these cookies last Christmas. My honey and my young adult sons loved them so much I barely had any to decorate and had to bake more!! Perfect holiday sugar cookie recipe.

Simple recipe, super easy to work with. Literally threw them together in my stand mixer. I didn't use the parchment, just rolled them out on a board with flour. Absolutely add the cognac, great tip! They bake up light, but are still sturdy enough to withstand icing. Winner.

I followed this recipe word for word. My dough turned out dry and crumbly. I found it impossible to work with. It was so difficult to make a handful of cookies I gave up on the rest of the dough and threw it in the freezer in hope that some other day I will have the patience for it. I couldn't form solid dough, it fell apart like damp sand. It irritated me so much I couldn't wait for them to be done cooking--so I could stop making them. Disappointed.

This recipe is excellent. The cookies were flavorful and chewy. The dough was a bit soft after mixing in the 2C of flour, so I added an additional 1/4C a tbsp at a time, until I got the consistency that I wanted. I rolled the dough to 1/4" thick and used cookie cutters to form the cookies. I baked for approximately 10 minutes---- the cookies had not yet browned on the edges. Once cooled, they were perfect!

Made these for Valentines Day...heart shaped with red sprinkles. They look & taste great. Easy to make. This recipe is a keeper.

I love this recipe, the cookies turned out amazing! The dough was sticky but I fixed that by putting flour on my hands and then rolling them, I also added 2 more tbsps of flour! Amazing!
