I'm always on the lookout for a good sugar cookie from scratch recipe. Sweet! .-= Terresa Wellborn´s last blog ..POEM: Transcendence =-.

It looks sort of glaze-ish in the picture because I stink at frosting things nicely, but it was more of a buttercream dealio.

MMmmmmm. And lemon frosting. Oh, heaven. But is it more a glaze than frosting? Just curious. .-= Rachel Sue´s last blog ..Random Friday =-.

Charlotte…these turned out sort of tender-crisp…not soft but not crispy. I’m like you..I like the soft. These weren’t bad…I sort of liked them this way. When rolling them, I ALWAYS get the dough too thin, so this time I forced myself to leave them thick, and they worked out better.

I should not have read this on Fast Sunday eve. I have a hard time finding sugar cookie recipes that are soft enough for me. I'm not as big a fan of the crisper ones. Is your recipe here softer or crisper or am I rolling the dough too flat? .-= Charlotte´s last blog ..Where in the world is Charlotte today? =-.

Sugar cookies are one thing I have such a hard time getting right. I'm going to definitely try this version next time. Thanks for sharing! .-= Josi´s last blog ..Reflecting on the Year =-.

I have never, ever, ever, ever, ever made a successful bath of sugar cookies. It is my curse that will haunt me for all eternity.
I gave up making them a long time ago. Now, I just make a simple round butter cookie and slap some frosting on it.
That’s the best I can do.

When you made them this weekend, did you go straight to the rolling? No hesitating? No screeching halt to the cookie making party?

It’s supposed to make it roll out without sticking so much. If you can manage it without chilling, then go for it. But I have heard (rumors, vicious rumors) that with unchilled dough, you’d have to use more flour to keep it from sticking, and that would make the cookies less wonderful somehow. Like less tender. Because you know the tenderness is critical under all that frosting. heh heh…

You are sweet to do that for the husband. At our house, I force my husband to make cookies. Works for me.
