Alright, I’ll be honest: I’m not a huge fan of sugar cookies. I’ve always found them too sweet and rich tasting for my liking. And I always thought that was just the way it is; I mean they are called “sugar” cookies. However things changed for me when I came across this recipe from A Latte Food. These sugar cookies are incredibly soft, not too sweet and have AMAZING flavor. The secret? A hint of almond extract (you read that right). The almond extract not only adds an extra layer of flavor, but it also tones down the richness from the butter. The main flavors are still vanilla and butter. The almond extract is simply there to elevate and harmonize all the other flavors together.

This recipe starts with butter and just the right amount of sugar creamed together. Then you add in an egg, some vanilla and a splash of almond extract. Mix in your dry ingredients, roll the dough in your hands, roll it in sugar and bake.

There is no chilling or waiting, no slicing or dicing. It’s just simple, and frankly the best darn tasting sugar cookies I’ve ever had. I couldn’t stop eating the first batch I made and had to make another batch the next day.
