Love these sugar cookies. You can definitely taste the almond extract but my friends, family and I loved them! Made them for Christmas 2012 and here I am again making them in the first week of January! Cook quick, taste great!

These are wonderful....just use half as much almond extract however.

Found this recipe in the Christmas 2008 book. It called for 5 teaspoons each of salt, almond extract and vanilla. Mixed up recipe as listed and baked. they turned out salty and decided to look up on the web site. I will probably bake again with the correct measurements. I thought it was a lot of each, but figured it would work. Sorry I did not look up before I made them.

These are the best tasting cookies. I have been making them for over 30 years. I always double the batch and freeze the dough. Sadly no method that I have ever tried as allowed me to roll the dough and then use cookie cutters. Freezing, chilling equipment, using a cookie press, or even the cookie shaped cookie pans are all failures. But the taste more then makes up for the lack of ease in rolling the dough out.

How far in advance can these cookies be made and still stay fresh? Thanks
