Best butter/sugar cookie I've ever eaten. I have to make an extra batch because my daughter eats the raw dough. – Anonymous Review

The texture and flavor are excellent. Since rolled cookies are not my forte, this recipe is perfect for me. Making this again for for Valentine's day. – Anonymous Review
