Sugar Cookies
Next up are my Aunt Margaret's Sugar Cookies. These are the
traditional sugar cut-outs that we know and love so well and the ones I grew up on. I look forward to making these every year. I think what
sets this recipe apart from others is the almond extract and it really
adds a beautiful flavor to the cookie.

Looks like another yummy recipe! It's so hard being on a diet during the holidays. I've definitely been cheating a a little these past couple weeks. :)
ReplyDeleteNothing beats sugar cookies!!! I like how you sprinkle them before; it makes them fuse to the cookies!
ReplyDeleteThese might be my favorite cookie ever! So simple yet so yummy - especially when the edges are crispy and the insides are squishy. YUM!
