This is an excellent sugar cookie. I agree to bake it on 350 instead of 400. I also used butter instead of margarine. It stays soft and keeps like just baked for at least 3 weeks, even if you overbake it a little, which I did with the first batch with the edges a little browned. Everyone just loved the cookies. Definitely a keeper.

Wonderful recipe! I made these with my kids last night and they turned out great. Very simple and tasty! We iced them with store bought icing but left some plain also, i can't stop eating them :-) We have a convection oven, they turned out perfect when we baked them at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Agreed w/everyone else that the temp was too high. I even baked mine at 350 and they turned out great (my oven tends to get really hot). I also did put the remaining dough in the fridge in between batches b/c as someone else posted, the dough got soft really quick. The cookies themselves came out BIG, SOFT, DELICIOUS...PERFECT!

I misread the ingredients and used 1/4 cup a butter instead. After mixing, I noticed it was still dryish in certain spots. I added some reddi whip whip cream and mixed it a bit more. The texture of the cookies are wonderful! They're just a bit too sweet for me. If you use less butter, use a little less sugar as well. I also used a 1/2cup less of flour. It can be rolled immediately too!
