These sugar cookies stay soft and puffy and do not get hard and crunchy. They are a little like those loft house cookies you get in the store. These cookies are fabulous!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cup salted butter
- 1 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- colored granulated sugar for decoration
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C)
- cream together butter and sugar
- Stir in the eggs and almond extract
- Add the flour and baking powder
- Stir until the dough forms together
- Form the dough into small balls about the size of a buckeye
- Roll the balls in the colored sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart
- Use the bottom of a cup to gently push each ball down to flatten. Just do this gently and not too far. You still want somewhat of a ball shape to it. They will puff up a bit and get bigger. They will not spread out and flatten
Yields about 40 cookies.
You can also make cutouts with royal frosting
