I have 1/2 the recipe with no problems, but I know some recipes are odd when you start messing with them, esp with the baking powder/soda.

I just need enough to make about 9 cookies for my fil's birthday.

Thanks!

I've never 1/4 the recipe, but I have 1/2'd it without any trouble at all. I have also doubled it without any problem. I just add one additional egg more than the recipe calls for, though. It makes the dough much more workable and helps the binding.

I have also halved it almost every time I've used it and that's worked for me. Could you half it (since we know that works) and freeze the dough or extra cookies for another time?

Yes, it can. I just tried this last week. I only needed a few cookies to try a different icing. When it came to the egg I just beat one egg in a container, and used 1/2 of it since the full recipe takes 2 eggs. It worked great.

Thanks everyone--ended up doing 1/2. I am glad I can 1/4th it though since sometimes I "lose" the extra cookie dough in the deep freeze.
