  1. I make these every year for Christmas. They are my favorite recipe for cutouts because they stay so soft. They're so good I've replaced my grandma's sugar cookie recipe.
     
  2. I made these cookies for christmas this year and they were wonderful.I baked the cookies and froze,then defrosted and decorated.I prefer the taste of lightly brown on bottom.
     
  3. I've been makeing these for all of my married life. they are the best cutout cookie ever. Chewy and moist. I agree they don't even need frosting
     
  4. Fantastic cookies and the dough is so easy to work with! I divide my dough onto pieces of plastic wrap, then flatten them to about 1/2 inch thickness. This way they only need to chill about an hour.
     
  5. A very tasty cookie. Well worth the effort. Love the addition of cream cheese.
