Let’s be honest, sometimes a cookie is a vehicle for frosting. Blogger Bree Hester of bakedbree.com shares a favorite recipe that will make cookie and frosting lovers alike, very, very happy. I have yet to meet anyone that can resist a soft sugar cookie with a thick layer of almond-scented frosting. These cookies take sugar cookies to a whole new level and are so easy to make—a no-stress holiday cookie.
