Mom's Amish Sugar Cookies image

My mom makes these cookies when I am home to visit. They are seriously the best thing ever! The trick to the recipe is the almond flavoring. It's very unique. These are not your ordinary sugar cookies.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They're very soft and chewy, and the frosting is delicious. I'll probably make them again, but I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.
