    These cookies are SO good! I've actually been making them quite a bit and leavning them on friend's doorsteps as little cookie care packages. They're a must make recipe.

    I’m a professional cake decorator and these are now my most “Asked for” cookie. I make these (have found I need to squish them down and not leave in a ball) I make a cream cheese Frosting with custard powder to put on top and they are heaven! They are good by themselves but add a buttercream or cream cheese frosting and “Magic” happens! Be warned they will be your most requested cookie by your sugar cookie lovers! They are a little time consuming but worth the extra time for sure. I no longer make sugar cookies Cz these take the cake! John,your my go to when I need a dessert at my diner or a cookie…absolutely the best! Thank you! It’s like baking with a friend💕💕💕💕💕😘

    I'm not fond of cooking but occasionally I get in the mood. Made these little biscuits, so simple & easy, husband was over the moon, "just a couple" for morning tea, another "couple" for after lunch, then a few more for afternoon tea. By supper they were gone. Husband asked if I could make some more this morning so have another lot cooking but I used lemon essence & lemon zest in the mix. So we'll see how long they last.

    OH MY! Thanks for this recipe! My mom used to make these in the 60s when I was a girl. We made them together a couple times, (sadly we rarely cooked together) at Christmastime, from a tattered hand typed recipe she in a three ring binder from some women's group (maybe Army Wives or Catholic boarding school) that shared recipes. I haven't thought of them of in years, and it's been decades since I've had one, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM! I'll do them next week with my granddaughter when she comes to stay. I really appreciate this. I have very few good memories of my mom, whose life was troubled, so I try to cultivate the good ones because the bad ones don't need help. This is healing - THANKS!

      Okay - so we used to roll the batter up into a wax paper wrapped log before refrigeration. Then we could unwrap and slice, and bake.

I already discovered you don't need to chill the dough, you don't need to roll the dough around in your hand and this recipe will adapt to lots of different flavors. I used my standard small ice cream scoop and got 22 round cookies. The last six got a small handful of shredded coconut added as a (very successful) test. Next times I will switch out flavors, such as almond or lemon, which should work easily.

It made it much easier to keep the dough from getting to soft. I also made a thumb print in each cookie and topped with raspberry preserves. They came out perfect and delicious.

    Back in the 1970's we had an elderly friend. Each time she came to visit she brought a box of baked goods. She made Angel Food Cake from scratch and frosted it with a maraschino cherry glaze, back when maraschino cherries were actually good! Included in the box was always two different cookies that I have never seen since. I would ask her to share her recipe with me. She was really elderly, had no children or family and she would not share the recipe. She did tell me that the two cookies were "cream cheese cookies". One cookie had small pieces of maraschino cherries in the dough and glazed with the same glaze from the cake. The second cookie was also a "cream cheese cookie" and it was stuffed with a combination of diced nuts, cherries, raisins and dates. You could tell the fruit and nuts were cooked in some liquid but I think they had been marinated in rum as they had a faint rum taste. This batter seems like it might not be dry enough to roll and cut, with intent to stuff. I really would have loved to have the recipes. Thinking about it, I just remembered there was another cookie that was also stuffed with a date that had a walnut inside and it was stuffed with cream cheese, not in the dough. She was an amazing baker and it is so sad that her love of baking and her wonderful recipes died with her. Thank you for sharing the recipe that brought back so many wonderful memories.

    I made these for my holiday gift baskets this year. I halved the salt and used half vanilla and half almond extract and also added red food coloring for Christmas. Dipped half the ball in white sugar sand before baking and kept the cookies to the smaller side. Perfect for our needs this year! Thanks for this recipe!

    I love this recipe! You are correct the dough is a sticky mess. I got tired of fighting it because I started too late in the day so I put the dough in refrigerator overnight. I don’t know why but it was so easy to work with the next day. My daughter loves Snicker Doodles so I made a bowl of cinnamon and turbanado sugar. After rolling the cookies I rolled them in the cinnamon sugar. Omg they were amazing. The turbanado sugar gives them a nice crunch versus regular sugar. I’ve made a lot of your recipes and love every one of them. Easy to follow. I have a brain disease and it has really made it hard for me to comprehend directions correctly. I’m Sicilian and not used to following a recipe but a stroke took my memories away so my kids want everything written down. My daughter arrives Friday for my birthday and I am going to surprise her with the cookies. She’s a Snicker Doodle junkie and she also loves my cheesecakes. Thanks again ❤️❤️

  • @sigsin1
    @sigsin1 2 роки тому +18

    Good recipe. I hope you don’t mind if I make a couple of suggestions:
    1. Instead of 2tsp vanilla, try 1.5 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract. It makes these cookies just…WOW.
    2. Because they are so sticky, I scoop with a spoon and drop a blob into a little bowl of granulated sugar and coat it. Now you can roll it into a ball easier and you can skip the powdered sugar at the end. (And you won’t have the dough sticking all over your fingers.). They will still be pretty because they sparkle.
    3. I might try a cooler oven temp next time because you really have to watch these. If they are even in a minute too long, the bottom turns golden and there’s nothing wrong with that, but now a soft cookie is crunchy on the bottom. Still good, though! Before you say it’s because of the sugar, it’s not. I make all of my sugar cookies this way and I’ve never experienced this as a problem.
    Thanks for the recipe, it’s a good one.

    This is my new favourite cookie recipe, it tastes amazing, and it stays soft even after two days! (It took an enormous amount of willpower to test this, believe me.) A word to the wise: if your kitchen is quite warm (as mine usually is, especially when the oven is on), be quick when handling the dough. I fiddled with the balls a bit too much when I made my first batch, so even though I took the dough out of the fridge only a few minutes before baking, some of the balls started to melt a little before getting into the oven, and as a result I got a few cookie-puddles instead of round and shapely mounds. Still friggin' delicious though :D The second time around I threw the balls back into the fridge and only took them out to quickly slap them onto the baking tray, and they turned out perfect
