    • Directions

  • Cream margarine, sugar and vanilla.
  • Add eggs.
  • Sift dry ingredients together.
  • Add to creamed.
  • Chill 3 to 4 hours.
  • I always leave over night and it is a lot easier to roll.
  • On well floured surface roll 1/4-inch thick (I roll mine a little bit thicker-it makes nice puffy cookies).
  • Use flour for rolling pin and cutters.
  • Cut to desired shapes.
  • Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes depending on thickness of cookies.

  • “This will be my 3rd time making these and I know they will turn out just as perfect as my other batches!! Always super soft and yummy 🙂 thanks so much for this wonderful recipe.”

  • “Used this recipe to make up some quick cookies for Halloween. They turned out fluffy and slightly crisp on the outside (I used half margarine and half butter).At high altitude I baked the cookies for 7 minutes at a 1/4″ inch thick.Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!”

  • “These were great! I made them with my kids at Christmas time. The cookie dough was easy to work with, and the cookies taste great, and kept REALLY well!”

  • “These cookies are fantastic!”

  • “Great cut out recipe that finally stays soft! I love the ease of it. They were all gone in 2 days, had to make more!”

  • “These cookies are fantastic!Finally a recipe that has no milk or butter (I used milk-free margarine instead of butter) that is as good as the butter recipes.My son has a milk allergy so this is a huge blessing to us.Thank you!”

  • “these cookies were gone as soon as they came out of the oven!! YUM”

  • “Very yummy cookies. I’d say dough needs to be refrigerated over-night as 3-4 hours was no where near enough time as the dough was still too gooey to work with.”
