These are really nice basic sugar cookies. They are easy to whip up and taste good. I reduced the butter a bit as I dont like my cookies to be too greasy and that way I didnt need to chill the dough and it was very easy to work with. I used only 60 g of sugar and the cookies are still nice and sweet. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this recipe here with us, Ceezie. I ended up with 35 cookies from the full recipe.

Very good cookies! 1 thing I esp like about them is they are not as sweet as others, almost like a shortbread w/a cookie texture ~ a good thing if you like them frosted (DH) or lightly dusted w/powd sugar (me). They are an easy-fix w/just 5 ingredients, but IMO benefit from a tsp of vanilla as an add. The full chill time is a must. Even after that I found the dough moist & buttery, enough so that I used a fair amt of extra flour to roll & handle them. If vanilla is used, even more may be needed. My yield was 30 of the 3-in size & they were done at 8 min ~ just barely getting a light crunch on the bottom & edges, but still soft & chewy. Made for Spring PAC 2008 & thx for sharing your recipe w/us.
