These are some of the reviews from people who tried The Soft Sugar Cookies Recipe :
Alice :
These are just excellent. I made them exactly according to the recipe and they got rave reviews and disappeared quickly. I thought they were going to spread out and they didn’t, so they are high cookies, not flat ones. Thanks for a great recipe.
Laura :
Absolutely wonderful! Be sure to cream the butter, shortening, and sugar together until mixture is light and fluffy before proceeding to next step. This will make a big difference. Also, it helps to chill the dough before rolling into balls. This is the best sugar cookie I’ve ever tasted! It’s a keeper!
