Does anyone have a recipe for cookies that taste like Cheryl's?

[Teacups]

I have never tasted them...are they good?

[Kachina624]

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.

Haven't I seen these cookies for sale in a B&M store? Anyway it is a great TSV and looks yummy.

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.

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

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.
