These cookies are just as you say they are. Soft and Chewy. I have been looking for a recipe like this for years. Thank You So Much!!! p.s. I think I may substitute lemon extract for the vanilla for something different
These are the best sugar cookies I've ever had! They really are soft and chewy! After I flattened the cookies out, I sprinkled more sugar on the tops and gently pushed it down with the back of the spoon. It made them extra tasty!
I was looking for a simple sugar cookie recipe, and I have to say that these are the BEST EVER!!! The only things I did differently were I used a vanilla butter and nut flavor extract and I used several different sugars as well as M&M’s. They turned out awesome! I also laid wax paper down on the pan and liked how the cookies turned out better than the ones I laid directly onto the pan. Wonderful recipe—thank you!!
I have been looking for a sugar cookie recipe like this for a while now. I made these and they turned out so yummy! The flavor is wonderful, and the soft, chewy texture is perfect! Thanks for a great recipe!
Very good cookie! Just what I was looking for as I searched for a chewy sugar cookie recipe on-line. I will add it to my recipe box for sure! mmmmm!
I'm always skeptical of recipes and comments on the internet, but these sugar cookies were indeed great! They taste great and are chewy with a slight crispy edge.
What a great recipe. These cookies have become a family favorite. My son's soccer team loved them too! One recipe made way more than 30 medium sized cookies. I did substitute real butter. Easy and delicious.
Holy cow, these are great! I despise sugar cookies and yet find myself thinking about those currently cooling on a rack in the kitchen. They seem to be CALLING my name … Thanks for a FABULOUS recipe!
These were a mess. I nearly ruined non stick cookie sheets just trying to get them off! It says ungreased pans..and mine are non stick and newer pans. I couldn't lift any of the cookies off...I scraped the lot into the garbage. Can't imagine what I did wrong! I followed the recipe exactly!
