“I love this recipe because it is so easy to roll out, and the taste is great. This is our favorite Christmas cookie recipe to make, but I also make them for Easter and Halloween. Sometimes I ice them or just sprinkle with colored sugar while they bake. I always double this recipe for us.”

These cookies rock! I never like "plain" cut out cookies- they generally have to be spicy or chocolate to win me over. However, these were fabulous. I had no eggs, so I substituted 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, and I also used butter rather than margarine (blech!) Not only were they tasty, but I didn't have to worry about my 3-year-old eating the dough, since there were no raw eggs this way. UPDATE: Years later, I'm still using this, and still using it egg-free. My daughter loves that she can eat the dough.

Anyway, they were really good. I baked them in two separate batches, and the one that I cooked just a little less (almost slightly undercooked) retained a lot more flavor than the ones that were completely golden brown on the bottom. Hubby thought the dough was great, and since there was no egg, suggested I dump it into some ice cream. (But there was none left over to do that with!!!) UPDATE: Years later, I'm still loving these. My favorite variation- I add citrus powder (TrueLemon, orange, or lime, etc.) or any combo thereof to the dough, then top with citrus icing. Friends LOVE these, and they are always a hit.
