My son Josiah enjoys making treats. This recipe is great for kids because it has two manageable time blocks-mixing and chilling the dough, then cutting out and baking the cookies.-Josiah Hildenbrand, San Leandro, California

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a fan of the sugar crystals on top of the cookies. I think they're a bit too crunchy.

I'm a vegan, so I made a few changes to the recipe to make it vegan. The cookies turned out just as good as the original recipe.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to substitute the walnuts with another ingredient. The cookies still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll cut back on the sugar next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the crispy sugar coating, but it turned out to be delicious. It adds a nice contrast to the soft, chewy cookie.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They're also a fun activity to do with kids.

These sugar cookies are the best! They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with the perfect amount of sweetness. I've made them several times and they're always a hit with my family and friends.
