I know I’m late posting this recipe but the holidays just caught up with me! These Almond Sugar Cookies scream holiday celebration. If you want to make these after Christmas it’s still a wonderful cookie anytime of the year. I gave some to my friends and they said they taste like Christmas! That’s what I like to hear! These almond sugar cookies are quick and easy.
These simple, quick sugar cookies are soft and buttery with almond extract. If you don’t like almond you may use vanilla extract.
These cookies are made in 1 bowl and take less than 20 minutes. 10 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to bake. Easy, right? Enjoy!
