In reply to Kayla. Hey Kayla! Did you happen to use margarine rather than real butter?

Delicious!! I decided to use the buttercream frosting from your sugar cookie recipe instead of the cream cheese and it was so good!!!

This recipe was amazing!
The only negative thing I have to say about it, is it’s dangerous.

I’ll be making this again and again!

In reply to Ashley.

They definitely should not have flattened like that! A few troubleshooting tips:

1) How old is your baking powder and baking soda? Spreading can happen if they are no longer active.
2) Is there any chance you did 1.5 teaspoons of baking *soda* instead of the powder? This would cause a lot of spreading.
3) Do you have an internal oven themometer? Most ovens run 15-20 degrees hot or cold and an oven that runs cold does cause cookies to bake slower and spread more.
4) What kind of butter did you use? Margarine, “real” butter, or european-style butter?

This recipe uses the same base sugar cookie dough recipe that I’ve been making for years & I’ve never had this issue myself or from readers, so I’d definitely check your leavening!
