I’m glad you enjoyed the flavor! It sounds like something may have been slightly off — usually if dough is runny, it’s due to butter that’s too warm, under-measured flour, or even a warmer kitchen environment. We recommend using a kitchen scale for the most accurate flour measurement and making sure the butter is softened to a cool room temperature (around 67°F). The butter visual shown above the recipe here may also be very helpful if you don’t have a digital food thermometer to check, and I’d encourage you to read through the other tips Tessa provided above the recipe. I hope this helps for next time, and let us know if you have any other questions!

Kelly, your cookie looks INCREDIBLE! What a fun treat to celebrate Earth Day, thanks so much for sharing 🙂 Glad they were such a hit!

I forgot to add that I made them in an Air Fryer on the Bake setting.

They always look great but always taste not so great. 🙁 This year was different!! My whole family said these were the best sugar cookies, ever. 🙂 Even my husband made a comment and he usually doesn’t care either way. :O Even me… I don’t like sugar cookies but thought these were great!! <3 <3 <3 This are my new go to sugar cookie recipe. I'm already thinking about next year's school bake sale!

I’ll be using this as my go to for holiday cookies. One thing I thought would have made them better is adding 1 tsp of almond extract to the mix.

My in-laws said they were the best sugar cookies they’ve ever had! And I have to agree. I’m also a big fan of bourbon vanilla glaze so I’ll be doing that next! It balances nicely with the sweetness. I will never use another sugar cookie recipe than this!

Just looking at them I can tell you didn’t flatten them before baking. I’m assuming you are young, and haven’t baked much. When baking, you must follow the recipe to the letter! Baking is science, so if you change anything, it will not come out right. Try again and follow recipe exactly. Scoop flour gently into cup, and level by scraping off the extra. Or, weigh the flour. To much flour will definitely make gross cookies. Good luck.
