These are really the best sugar cookie ever! If you have never tried them you must!

This was the first recipe I made from your cookbook. I added 1 tsp nutmeg and I cant stop eating them!

Made these yesterday. So yummy! I was surprised that they weren’t super sweet, which makes them just that yummier. And, if you spread Nutella on them, they’re the yummiest.

These were super easy to make and taste quite delicious. My cookies didn’t turn out quite as flat as Ree’s did in the photo and mine aren’t as crumbly as the warning states, but that doesn’t take away from my opinion that these are worth the 5 star rating.
Bottom line: You should make these today.

If you cook these longer, they’ll get crumblier and crispier. I liked them both ways-cooked less and more. I didn’t think they were quite sweet enough just with the tops dipped in sugar so I rolled the whole ball of dough in sugar. Also, I put cream cheese frosting on them and they are to-die-for!

My boyfriend is really hard to please, and he’s not a big sweets-eater, but he called these cookies “good”, which, in normal language, means “awesome”. The two things that are outstanding are the texture and the lack of “tang” I get when eating my mom’s sugar cookies. These cookies are perfect, and according to my boyfriend, the texture only gets better after a few days. Also, my fellow churchgoers ate a plate of these in approximately 7 seconds.

YUMMO! So delicious, I had to break my “diet” to try 1, or maybe 2 or 3, I lost count. But so light and fluffy I didn’t feel too bad.

These really are super!

This recipe is nearly identical to my Aunt Marilyn’s sugar cookies. The only difference is that instead of the oil, my aunt’s call for one cup of vegetable shortening (Crisco). I made Ree’s version last night, and they tasted very good, but I missed the more pronounced crispness of my aunt’s recipe. My kids couldn’t stop eating them!

This was such a great recipe! I have made several different sugar cookie recipes all with mediocre results. I was SO pleased with these cookies that they didn’t even last long enough for me to ice them. Everyone devoured them. This is my new go-to cookie recipe!

These are fantastic! They make a very uniform cookie so perfect for a beautiful display on a desert table. They are so tender and delicate, made mine with butter cream icing.

I’ve been searching for a delicate cookie like these for years and years. They are just perfect and were devoured by my family and then my church coffee hour. Thank you!

These cookies are incredible. They’re exactly what I wanted: a crisp, delicate, old-fashioned sugar cookie. I was worried when I saw how soft the dough was (almost a batter), but I put them in the freezer for 20 minutes rather than refrigerate and then baked them. Perfect!
