Everyone was talking about how good they were. Even DH and I, who don't like sugar cookies, loved them. I'm trying her chocolate sugar cookie recipe this week too, and from the comments on that post on her blog, they should be delicious as well! <a href="http://www.lilaloa.com/2013/02/vanilla-20-sugar-cookie-recipe.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.lilaloa.com/2013/02/vanilla-20-sugar-cookie-recipe.html?m=1</a></p> <p>And for anyone looking for something totally different, these were apparently very, very good. I hate peanut butter, so I can't say, but everyone loved them. And they did great on the not spreading, etc. <a href="http://sweetopia.net/2014/11/the-perfect-peanut-butter-cut-out-cookie/" rel="nofollow">http://sweetopia.net/2014/11/the-perfect-peanut-butter-cut-out-cookie/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2113412 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 16:00:35 +0000 aegie 2113412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I'm not crazy on sugar cookies either, but if you are going to make them ... i would bake them with cream cheese added in. Makes them soooooooooo much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2112897 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 11:42:19 +0000 Torchwood 2112897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@creativemomma15: I did the marshmallow fondant for my birthday party, so that's what I know people liked. I tried out icing last week, and I thought it was just as good, but I didn't give them to anyone else, so I can't say for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2112854 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 11:18:43 +0000 creativemomma15 2112854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: Thanks! those look so good! Now I might need to come up with a reason to bake today! Yum! I saw you've used marshmallow fondant on them? Is that what you recommend or have you done icing too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2111649 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:40:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 2111649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love them, as long as you make a good frosting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2111591 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:11:08 +0000 littlejoy 2111591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use this recipe: <a href="http://minimalistbaker.com/1-bowl-vegan-sugar-cookies/" rel="nofollow">http://minimalistbaker.com/1-bowl-vegan-sugar-cookies/</a> They are so good (as is anything from this blog). </p> <p>@MrsHansen82: I agree!!

I made some for my daughters first birthday and handed them out. They were a hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2109720 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 05:54:36 +0000 blackbird 2109720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: Oh in that case, I'm indifferent between those two. Do the fondant, I say! Also, I'm in the same boat for E's bday.....we're having a cookies and milk party and I'm doing frosted sugar cookies like this and was going to do royal icing to copy these....fondant would be a TON of cutting and stuff that i'm just not going to do </p> [attach=618/15/nlawz0.456x600.Cupcake-Cookies--5-of-5-.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2109715 Mon, 16 Mar 2015 05:39:40 +0000 Dandelion 2109715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them.

They sound delicious! I like sugar cookies, but will always choose chocolate over anything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2109595 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 21:51:06 +0000 Torchwood 2109595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: In this case I'm only making them at all for the fact that they would look really good; I have enough other desserts planned that they aren't absolutely necessary. And soft frosting wouldn't let me get the look I'm going for, so it would defeat the purpose. I've done the marshmallow fondant with chocolate sugar cookies before, and they were very well received, so that's why I was wondering if I should do chocolate again or if regular would do as well.</p> <p>@lady baltimore: Snickerdoodles are definitely more something I personally like, but I'm not clear on how they would work for this? I've never seen a snickerdoodle cut out cookie, and I don't see how the cinnamon and sugar on the outside would work with the icing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2109529 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 20:23:19 +0000 blackbird 2109529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I like a soft cream cheese style frosting, personally.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2109511 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 20:00:38 +0000 Torchwood 2109511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the input! Looks like I'm in the minority (DH is with me, so it was really hard to judge), which is good news for making them cuter! For those who like them frosted, does your answer change if it will be either royal icing (the kind that dries hard) or marshmallow fondant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2109509 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 19:56:15 +0000 Rocker2014 2109509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE sugar cookies!

I make them with half almond extract and half vanilla bean paste!

IMO, frosting is the only thing that can make them worse. lol They sure do look cute, though! :wink: </p> <p>I know from experience, however, that my opinion is not most people's.</p> <p>What about snickerdoodles or almond sandies? The color you're looking for in something with a little more flavor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2109355 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 15:05:31 +0000 mrskc 2109355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love sugar cookies!!

Then they don't taste so blah, but you can show off your fun icing skills! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2109326 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:21:47 +0000 NavyRN2012 2109326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a sugar cookie fan at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-sugar-cookies#post-2109323 Sun, 15 Mar 2015 14:20:06 +0000 lamariniere 2109323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really dislike sugar cookies.

But a run of the mill sugar cookie is not my thing. </p>
