I tried this because I had plenty of Bisquick. It was so easy and delicious. I separated the dough into fourths to refrigerate so it was easy to keep the dough chilling while I rolled them. The dough rolled perfectly. The cookies don't expand much so they keep their shape. I recommend removing them from the pan within 2 minutes of removing them from the oven or they stick to the pan. -
Great flavor and super easy. Really liked the taste the almond extract added - a little twist! The tip to roll out only a portion of the dough at a time was a big help. If it gets too warm, the dough starts to get sticky, etc. Will be coming back to this recipe for years. Thanks for sharing! -
very yummy and so easy. I used vanilla extract. Thank you so much

I agree - they are yummy! I used a biscuit mix I found on here, and cut them into heart shapes. Once baked I sprinkled them with caster (superfine?) sugar. May try orange flower water next time - that's the good thing about this recipe, it can easily be adapted. Many thanks! -
These were delicious and very easy. It was my first experience with making sugar cookies and they were great.
