Soft, tasty, quick and easy cookies. Great for spur-of-the-moment baking since you don't need to soften butter.

These were very quick and easy they tasted just like sugar cookies. The only thing I did differently is use canola oil and dipped the glass in cinnamon sugar instead of regular sugar. These are the perfect cookies to make if you have no butter and you just need a cookie! Read More

This recipe has been worn out every time it has been written down in my family. My grandmother has made them for as long as I could remember. We substitute lemon juice for the lemon zest it gives it a nice lemony flavor. For texture you could still use some of the lemon zest. Read More

bleh.. i thought these were going to be fun yummy sugar cookies but really its just a waste of time. they are like dry cake with no sweet taste. the only thing i like about them is that they look nice when you put colored sugar on top. don't make these for anyone unless you dislike them. Read More

I have been making these cookies since I was a teenager. They are so easy to make and have a nice flavor and soft texture. They can be iced with butter cream frosting dyed to match the event or holiday. This is the only sugar cookie I make. Read More
