They are similar but not as good as (IMO) the iced Lofthouse Cookies sold in the bakery departments of many grocery stores including Walmart.

We just bought them for the first time in October. We all thought they were delicious. The icing tastes just like buttercream, but not too sickening sweet. The non-iced cookies were good, but the iced cookies are the best.

Here's a copycat recipe that was posted on the forums a while back. I have never made them nor have I tried her cookies so I would not know if they taste like them or not. If you try the recipe please let us know how they turn out. I don't care for cookies with icing.

One Recipe for Cheryl and Co Sugar Cookies - Copycat Recipe

Bakery Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter or butter Crisco

2 t. baking soda

1 egg

1 t. vanilla

1 cup sugar

3 cups flour

a few tablespoons of milk as necessary

Cream together butter and sugar with electric mixer.

Add egg, vanilla and baking soda. Add flour one cup at a time. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until dough is of rolling consistency. Roll out and cut into shapes (roll thick).

Bake for 6-7 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet on top shelf of oven at 400 degrees. (Cookies will look undone on top).

Cool and frost.

Frosting:

4 T. softened butter

2 c. powdered sugar a few T. milk to make frosting spreading consistency

Beat butter in a mixing bowl and add powdered sugar gradually.

Add milk and beat until frosting is a good spreading consistency.
After frosting cookies, sprinkle immediately with colored sugar.

I just don't understand TSV's that are for the holidays. Couldn't they wait and offer them in November?

@Nightowlz "After I posted the copycat recipe I saw this was an old post from 12-2014.???"

The same thing happened a week or so ago to LoLa's post about the Coconut Cream Pie. I can only guess QVC is working on something that causes the posts to show up in the current month. (I'd like to think they're working on restoring the posts that were lost in the format change.)

I'm sure somebody who is fond of Cheryl's Cookies will enjoy your posting the copycats, so on their behalf, "Thank you."

Cheryl's are Shortbread Cookies with LOTS of real vanilla.

Any good shortbread recipe will work, just double the vanilla and you will be close.

I would assume they could sell more by offering them earlier. They have advanced notice of how many they need to make & ship on certain dates & also have what they need on hand to make the cookies.

This also helps with planning for people who have a lot of little gifts like this to give. If you know you need gifts early, you can pick the first ship date and have these available as you need them.

I know last year, a set of something debuted around 12/10 and people on this forum were like, "why are we seeing this now? I had to give my gifts out a week ago."

People start exchanging gifts on Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving weekend when family gather.

I know if years past, my company holiday was the first Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was November 30th or something.

These are so good. Just like the Lofthouse store bought.

Cookies
1 French vanilla cake mix
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Icing
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
4 cups powdered sugar

To make cookies combine ingredients with an electric mixer. The dough will be stiff enough to roll into 1-inch balls. Place balls on a silicone mat or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Flatten balls to about 1/2-inch thick. Bake cookies in a preheated 325 degrees F. oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until somewhat firm in the center. Remove from oven and cool before frosting.

Make icing by combing all ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth. Add food coloring, if desired. Spread on cookies with a spatula and add sprinkles if you like.

When icing has set store cookies in a tightly sealed plastic container (such as LnL). This will give the cookies their cakey texture after several hours.

Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.
