Pound Cake Cookies

Nice and chewy! Great texture and great taste. I subbed 1 TBSP applesauce for part of the butter and I got 24 good size cookies from the batch, which I frosted and sprinkled with decorative sugar. They only lasted a day and a half between 6 people. My kids already asked me to make them again.

Nice, easy little cookie. I made the balls -- with a larger scoop but not filling. Got 29 cookies - pressed lightly with a glass, baked 13 minutes the first batch, then 11 minutes -- JUST til a hint of color on the edge. Iced with tubbed buttercream icing and stirred the sprinkles into the icing. DH was really taken. Saving the recipe for future . Thanks for posting, Marg.

I have tried 20-30 different sugar cookies recipes, and in my opinion these are the best. Slightly crunchy on the outside and soft and cake-like on the inside. I use the mini ice-cream scoop to get all the cookies the same size and bake for 9 minutest at 375 degrees. (I like my cookies a little brown around the edges.) Try them, you'll like them.

Fabulous!! Used a cream cheese butter frosting and red sprinkles and everyone loved them. I'm not an almond extract fan but went ahead anyway and was glad I did. They are crispy on the edges and soft in the center. I used my middle cookie scoop, and dipped the bottom of a glass in sugar to flatten. Made 18 cookies.

Very good! I made two batches. I roll the dough out a little thicker and they were chewy in the middle. My mom loved those. My dad liked the thiner crispier batch.

These tasted GREAT. I used the glass to press flat and the edges got a little too thin. I also used the recommended buttercream frosting and they were a perfect match. Much better than store bought.

These were very good. They tasted very close to the lofthouse cookies. The only thing changed about them was I substituted the almond extract for vanilla extract. This small change really made the cookies tast so much better.

Delicious and easy! I followed the recipe exactly and rolled them out using powdered sugar. I used Butter Cream Icing (Buttercream Frosting) and sprinkles to decorate the cookies. I'm mailing these cookies to my cookie swap partner and I know she will love them too. Thanks Marg for posting!

This is a very good and very easy recipe. I was seduced by some comments which said it was close to Lofthouse cookies. I agree, tastewise, it is very close. However, the texture is not the same. Mine were quite crunchy on the outside, and slightly soft in the middle-- and that's cooking them BARELY beginning to golden on the edges. Lofthouse, of course, have no crunch at all. I did experiment with undercooking these a bit, and they were indeed more soft, but actually tasted undercooked. That said, as a sugar cookie not being compared to a famous brand, they are really outstanding unto themselves and super easy. I am posting the quick pink "Lofthouse" frosting I made for them. Try it out, it makes exactly enough for this recipe, and the cookies look outstanding. :)

Yummy! This recipe is very easy and not time consuming. It will be my new sugar cut out cookie recipe. The buttercream frosting was a nice addition. Next time I will need to make a double batch:)

Loved these cookies, plain or frosted! I loved the ease of making them, hubby loved the almond flavoring, kids loved the sprinkles. I was already making another type of cookie & have a new baby to tend to, so didn't want to make buttercream frosting also. I used a tub of ready made "confetti" frosting. The cookies were fabulous, but next time I will make the buttercream & I think they'll taste even better.

FANTASTIC! I didn't feel like making sugar cookies from scratch this year so I was going to buy sugar cookie mix. When I went to the commisary there was not one box, tube, or package of sugar cookie mix or dough anywhere. Somehow I remembered saving this recipe to my cook book last year so I bought the pound cake mix. It was so easy to mix up, even my daughter helped. We rolled out half the dough and used cookie cutters and made round drop cookies with the other half. The dough was very easy to work with as long as we kept our rolling pin and surface floured. We rolled the dough directly onto parchment paper and used the cookie cutters directly on it so we would have to transfer the cookies onto the cookie sheet and lose their shape. The baked up nicely in 9 minutes exactly and held their shape well. The surface was not as smooth as a homemade cookie, but it didn't matter at all since we covered it with icing anyway. My husband tried one of the round cookies and exclaimed, "Wow! what happened to hard brittle sugar cookies?! These are great!". The cut outs were a bit more crispy but still very tasty. These were the best sugar cookies we have tasted, no need to make them from scratch any more thanks to your recipe. This will be a repeat in our house for sure. thanks!

These are great!! Very quick and easy to put together. I topped them with "Holiday Morsels" instead of frosting - a huge hit at my house.

Yummy soft cookie! I wasn't able to make mine as thick as the picture, but will try again. Don't refrigerate the dough between batches, it'll crumble. I didn't try to use the dough as cut outs, but was able to press balls flat with a glass on freezer paper without difficulty. This recipe took only one hour to mix and bake up all the dough! Thanks for a great recipe.

Wow! These are very, very good. Pretty sweet and nice and soft. They taste a lot like Lofthouse Cookies to me (and those happen to be my favorite store-bought cookie). Plus they're so quick and easy to make! Thanks for such a great recipe.

These were so yummy and they puffed up so thick. Had a wonderful taste and looked pretty too.
