In reply to Erin. Hi Erin! You could certainly put royal icing on top of these cookies. :)

In reply to Nancy. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Nancy! Is it possible they were over-baked?

I should have read the reviews. Not sweet enough. They look pretty and it was easy to roll but disappointing. Oh well.

In reply to m waters. Did you weigh your flour? Did you make any substitutions?

In reply to BRENDA DEESE. If you didn't weigh your flour, it's likely you accidentally added too much flour. :(

In reply to Sam Merritt. No I did not overbake them, I originally used a different recipe and couldn't remember what was in it because it was years ago-I know there was no corn starch and not 3 cups of flour-I should have went with my gut that this was not it. The flour is what you could taste not the cream cheese. I ended up finding the original which called for one cup less flour, no corn starch and an entire pack of cream cheese. This recipe is more like a biscuit!

In reply to BRENDA DEESE. Hi Brenda! Is it possible they were over-baked? That will ruin the flavor. :(

In reply to Robin Estill. Hi Robin! That should be fine as long as the dough is wrapped tightly to prevent it from drying out. :)

can the dough be refrigerated for 2 days successfully ahead of baking?

In reply to Sam Merritt.

Texture is great. Plus I loved that they didn’t require refrigeration. But the taste was too bland. 3 cups of flour is a lot…..maybe why they taste like raw flour. Sorry…they are a bust for us.

In reply to Danna. Hi Danna! Mine are about 3 inches in diameter, and I got about 30 cookies out of the dough. If yours is only 2 inches you'll likely get a few extras. They may need to bake for slightly less time. :)

Hi, I am thinking of making these for Support raising for Missionary trip and I wanted to pre-make the dough in the cookie cut outs. Would it be possible to freeze the dough uncooked cut in the correct shape so I can just bake them on the weekend that we’re doing the support raising.?

In reply to Heather. Hi Heather! You do want teaspoons here not tablespoons. I would probably reduce the vanilla to 1 teaspoon and probably about a half teaspoon to one teaspoon on the almond extract. Almond extract is a little more potent so I typically go lighter with it. :)

Hello! I am looking forward to making these for this year’s christmas sugar cookie! Was wondering if you could use 1tbsp of almond extract & 1tbsp of vanilla, in place of the 2tbsp of vanilla?
Or would you recommend omitting the vanilla altogether & replacing with 2 tbsp of almond extract? I love a hint of almond in my sugar cookies, but nothing overpowering.

I made this recipe with just a few changes and added blueberries and white chocolate chips. Came out AMAZING! It is one of the most requested for the Christmas trays this year, thank you!
