Sorry for the late post! I've had Internet woes since Saturday. I'm having to type this up on my iPhone. I'm afraid this will be a short post without pictures. As soon as I get working Internet, I'll add pictures.
I made a full batch on Sunday but only baked one log for the time being. What? I knew I'd eat all of them if I didn't! I decided to do slice and bake instead of rollout because of my lack of kitchen counter space. They were very crumbly when I tried to cut them. I tried to slice them thicker but I don't think it made much of a difference.
They didn't spread at all when baking. They were exactly the same size as when they went in. The cookies were tasty but they reminded me too much of store bought sugar cookie dough. I prefer sugar cookies that are soft and fluffy.
I still have half a log of dough to work with so I may try and work on it again. Try to de-store bought dough it if I can. I'll do an update with pictures when I have Internet again. I'll also post links to the blogroll and our host for the week!

Soft and fluffy is the way to go, I agree. Although these were great for decorating - very sturdy.
I so hear you about the lack of counter space. I have a very small kitchen, and when I bake every (I mean EVERY) flat surface is put to use.
I'll come back to look at your pictures. I did the slice-and-bake too, but didn't have any crumbling problems. Last week I did though - I think I didn't mix long enough.
Good luck on your second batch!
glad you tried them out and impressive that you did the whole post from your iphone!
Internet woes for you too, huh? Mine has been out since Tuesday morning. Just got it back late today. Grrr.... Sorry the cookies gave you a tough time - they are really good!
These cookies were fabulous.
I added orange zest to mine.
Sorry that you weren'f fond of the recipe. Thanks for joining TWD and baking with me
