Wonderful, luscious, buttery cookies! I normally avoid making roll-out cookies because they are time-consuming. This recipe was extremely easy to put together (I have a stand-up mixer and didn't even have to add the flour by hand), and as stated in the recipe, there is absolutely no chilling necessary. The dough was easy to roll-out, and the dough did not stick to my metal cookie cutter. I was able to make 24 - 26 pumpkin cookies (Wilton pumpkin cookie cutter). Make sure you don't roll your dough any thinner than 1/8-inch or they will be very thin. I recommend using a hot cookie sheet with your very first batch of cookies - I started with a cold cookie sheet and my first batch was much flatter than the rest of my batches (and not as pretty). Frosted these wonderful cookies with [recipe=19649]Cookie Frosting[/recipe]. Thanks for a great recipe!

I made this with my 6 year-old daughter and we loved these cookies! This was an excellent recipe. It was fairly simple and the cookies had just the right amount of sugar--not too sweet, not too bland. The dough rolled out pretty well. It made quite a bit more than 2 dozen for us though. We used various sized cookie cutters. We will definitely make these again but next time we will "paint" them with eggwash and food coloring before we bake them.

Absolutely the very best and easiest roll-out christmas cookie recipe that I have ever made! You have a winner here. I will NEVER use those other cookie recipes that have to be chilled and all that time consuming stuff. My 7 year old son and I made these tonight and they are delicious! He rolled them out and cut them and placed them on the parchment paper, so easy even a 7 year old can do it! Baked for about 7 minutes in my oven and we are ready to frost them, they tasted great even without the frosting! Can't rave enough about this one!

I have always avoided cut out cookies as I can never get organized enough/am too impatient to chill dough. Never again!! This recipe is terrific: easy, quick, and most importantly, delicious! I have made these three times already; only once the dough didn't come together, so I added a few drops of milk with no adverse results. I prefer rolling these out a little thicker to have a softer cookie. I thinly iced these with a simple icing made of icing sugar, milk and food colouring paste. Terrific!

I made this with almond extract instead of vanilla, and stuck them together in pairs with chocolate almond buttercream frosting in the middle. They were super easy to make and a big hit. If you try the almond variant, I suggest adding another 1/2 or 1 teaspon of extract--it was very subtle in mine. I look forward to trying other experiments.
