Sugar Cookie Dough - OAMC

"This is a great way to make a quick treat. This dough freezes very well. I find these don't work as well for cut out cookies. The dough is pretty soft. This came from a 30 day gourmet ebook. Cooking time is per sheet."

  1. I made these yesterday to take to my kids school, which is a good thing because I could have eaten them all. I did roll them in sugar I like mine a little sweeter. I also dipped the tops of the balls in chopped pecans mixed with sugar. Awesome recipe! Thanks so much for posting, I will be making these again next week!
     
  2. I haven't gotten any in the freezer yet but am baking some right now and the first batch was delicious! Like other people have said they are very soft and delicate. Yummy!
     
  3. The dough is so fluffy and the cookies melt in your mouth. I baked them immediately and they are delicious. They are so delicate that I don't think they'll hold up to frosting. Easy and quick.
     
  4. This dough is so moist and delicious! We all loved it, even without frosting. I love love love sfot cookies, and these were perfect. The cook time was exactly right, something I always appreciate, and the cookies came out fluffy and light just as they should. I think they could have used just a little more sugar, but that's just personal preference. I subbed the oil for apple sauce (I ran out of oil!) and it was great. The recipe really did make 6 dozen cookies, and good sized cookies at that. I've got 2 dozen in the freezer, and can't wait to see how they turn out :) Thanks Jill!
