In reply to Ronasia. Hi, Ronasia-- you can use any neutral oil. I've never used butter, but if you try it, let me know!

Can you sub avocado oil for canola oil? Or butter?

It was rainy and I was bored so looked for an easy classic cookie recipe. These were perfect. I love sugar cookies and most recipes have no taste. These were the perfect amount of sweetness and vanilla. I loved how the footnotes had advice on substituting since I only had liquid vanilla extract on hand. I had family drop in and all asked me to send them the recipe after trying them.

Can you put icing on these? I am looking for a soft sugar cookie recipe to put icing on? Thank you!

In reply to Lillian Keairns.

Hi, Lillian– if you underbake them by a minute or so, they will be extra chewy. You’ll just want to be sure they rest long enough on the baking sheet so they transfer to a cooling rack ok. And you can put as much vanilla in as you want 🙂

I’m planning to make these tomorrow because they sound incredible but I have just a couple questions: the texture sounds delightful but do you have any tips for making them slightly chewier? And then I have some homemade vanilla extract that I’d really like to make the star of the show, so would you recommend adding a little more to make the flavor stronger?
