This is the best sugar cookie recipe I have ever made (even better than my Grandma's, and that is saying A LOT!). I like a soft sugar cookie that is nice and buttery good, and this one is it! Great with icing and easy to cut out with cookie cutters. Highly recommend!

Very easy to make. Wasn't overly sweet. The only thing is that they took longer to brown about 13 minutes. Dough was very easy to roll out and reroll out without getting stiff.
