Would make this again.
I thought these cookies were really easy to work with, and the cookie dough was delicious. However, once they were cooked, they tasted really bland, like something was missing. three stars

This is my first time making Christmas sugar cookies, on my own. The recipe was easy to follow. The dough was extremely easy to work with. of course I had to try the cookies when they came out of the oven. These are definitely the best tasting sugar cookies I ever had!! I decided to adopt the recipe for years to come and not just for christmas!!! five stars
