Reviews
I wish I had read the reviews before making these cookies. As others stated, the dough is very sticky. However after freezing it I was able to roll it out by adding flour. The cookies were easy to cut out and I had no issue there. The reason I’ll never make these again is because they have no taste. Very bland tasting to say the least.

Followed the recipe to the T and ended up with a gooey mess. Thanks to my husband's baking skills we were able to salvage the recipe by adding several more cups of flour. Baker beware!
Always loved these cookies, always hated making them so thank you dm educator for the tip of putting the dough in the freezer for 2 hours. It made the dough so much easier to work with.
My daughter requests these cookies every year at Christmas time so I have been making them for 10 years. I chill the dough overnight and then put it in the freezer for 2 hours before I roll it out. I only take 1/4 of the dough out at a time to roll out. Always keep the dough that you aren't working with in the freezer and use a WELL floured space to work them out , flipping the dough often to ensure that there is flour under the dough. I put the scraps in the freezer and take out the next piece and keep rotating until I have used all my dough. This works great and I never have a problem with the dough being too soft/sticky. Hope this helps. It really is a light and great tasting cookie!
These were a total waste of time and ingredients. One sticky goopy mess. Something is wrong with the recipe. Very disappointed!
I let dough chill overnight and it was still way to sticky to make cutouts, even adding extra flour didn't help. The cookies did taste wonderful though
They are so sticky I thought I did something wrong and tossed the batter the first time. SO - me being short in the brain department, tried again. Way too sticky again so I added 1 1/2 cups more of flour. I'll keep you posted.
These cookies are pretty good. I do like the texture, but they aren't very flavorful. Add more vanilla for sure and maybe 1/2 cup sugar. They are also VERY STICKY!! I refrigerated them for over a day and only worked with 1/3 of the dough at a time. Within 10 minutes of working, everything was sticking. If I managed to roll out the dough without a problem, it would stick to the cutter. If the dough rolled, and the cutter cut, the cutout stuck to the VERY WELL floured counter. The dough raised in the oven so much that the shape of the cookie became distorted. Definitely do not use intricate cutters for this recipe.
