Almond Sugar Cookies

Welcome back to our fabulous Christmas Cookie Series with Rodelle Vanilla!  I’m so excited to have partnered with such an amazing brand and bring you some recipes for the holidays that you will want to add to your list and make them yourself!  Last week I shared Mom’s Almond Shortbread Cookies and this week we’re continuing with the almond theme and have Almond Sugar Cookies.  These cookies are going to rock your world, they’re amazing!

These are the perfect cookies to make with your kids, they make great cut outs that the kids can decorate and sprinkle!

 How to Make Almond Sugar Cookies

Ingredients You Need

• 2 1/2 Cups Flour
• 2 Tsp Cornstarch
• 1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 1/2 Cup Butter, room temperature
• 1/4 Cup Shortening, at room temperature
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 Large Egg White
• 2 Tsp Rodelle Almond Extract

• 4 Ounces Cream Cheese, Softened
• 4 TBSP Butter
• 1/2 Rodelle Almond Extract
• 2 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar

Directions

Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and set aside.

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer whip together butter, shortening and sugar until it’s fluffy, scrapping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Add in the egg and mix until combined, then add the egg white, vanilla and vanilla extract and mix until combined.

With the mixer running, add the dry ingredients until just combined. Refrigerate for 2 hours

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, scoop the dough out and roll into a ball.  Lightly flour a surface an roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thick.  Cut out your shapes and transfer to a cookie sheet.  Bake for 11 minutes or until slightly brown.

After cooling, whip all the frosting ingredients together and frost the cookies

 Almond is my favorite during the holiday season, but vanilla is a pretty close second.  We have an amazing Vanilla Butter Meltaway Cookie that we shared last year if you’re not an almond lover.  Be sure to stop and check that one out too!
