Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I made a half recipe which is actually a little annoying since it comes down to eyeballing 1/8 tsp as well as still having to use two eggs anyway since it requires an egg and a yolk. I cooked between 325 and 350F in convection and pulled around 14 minutes. I agree with the other user about the metallic taste and would also make sure not to add too much baking soda next time. Otherwise this is a pretty good nostalgic type sugar cookie recipe that is similar to the ones I used to get as a kid from Walmart bakery. ETA: contrary to other posters I preferred this on the second day. I feel the baking soda taste mellowed out and it had more of a pleasant fudgy texture inside.

    Very good basic sugar cookies. Easy to make, easier to eat.

    These cookies are great and super simple (my 11 year old makes them regularly) -- they roughly seem like snickerdoodles without the cinnamon sugar. They definitely get drier/crispier pretty quickly and aren't the best keepers, but straight out of the oven they are amazing.

    Indispensable. Has become my go-to recipe for sugar cookies. My favorite is when I've rolled them in cinnamon sugar.

    Soft and chewy sugar cookie. There is a slight metallic after taste in the cookie. I will try decreasing the baking soda by a 1/4 teaspoon and see if that helps. Otherwise, it is a good cookie.

    Fantastic and best just out of the oven. These are rather large cookies so will adjust time.

    We loved these! Easy to put together and assemble. The cookies are very soft fresh out of the oven and after the first few hours, but firm up quite a bit after that. A mix between soft and crispy.
