Frosted Almond Sugar Cookies image

I used to call this recipe "White Christmas Cookies" but changed the name because I was making them for all the holidays and for special occasions. Everyone in my family loves these cookies and they're always fighting over how many each other eats. The yield on these cookies depend upon the size cookie cutter used.

Time 12m

Yield 24-36 cookies, 24-36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
3 cups all-purpose white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1 teaspoon almond extract
4 -6 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • For the cookies: In a large bowl, cream together with an electric mixer the margarine and the granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and the extract and beat until creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix just until smooth. Divide the dough in half onto plastic wrap and wrap to cover.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight until firm.
  • Roll out dough to a 1/4inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut out with your favorite cookie cutter.
  • Place on ungreased baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  • Bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes. Cookies should be firm to the touch, but not brown. Cool and frost.
  • For the frosting: Mix together the confectioners sugar and the margarine.
  • Add the extract and then the milk until desired consistency. (Use less milk, if you plan to add food coloring for colored frosting) Beat until fluffy.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They're also a great option for people with gluten allergies, since they're made with almond flour.

I've tried several different frosted almond sugar cookie recipes, and this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the frosting is perfectly sweet and almond-y.
