I'm a little confused about sugar cookies. A favorite local bakery makes
think sugar cookies. I'm sure they're not shortbread. I've tried cutting
them 1/2 inch thick, but I still get thin sugar cookies.

Maybe I need a new recipe. I found this recipe called 'Sugar Cookie for
Ceramic Cookie Molds. I guess I need a recipe like this one with less eggs
and more flour. Am I on the right track?

I also found this recipe for 'Thick Sugar Cookies'. I'm thinking of trying
this one. But, as a Pooh bear, I'm a little hesitant.

Are you keeping your dough chilled? In cookies with a lot of butter a
warm dough makes them spread more.

They might also use vegetable shortening in place of some of the butter,
since it melts at a higher temp and will keep the cookie shape longer
than an all-butter cookie.

It was chilled. I bought it at the supermarket. It's much easer that way.
When I make it myself I have to chill the dough for hours before I can roll
it.

I'm usually not a big fan of cookies made with shortening, but you may be
right. Thanks.

Sorry. That should say thick, not think.
