Almond Sugar Cookies

Image
I just discovered this awesome trick to doctoring up a boring sugar cookie premade mix. Yes, I know you "should" make sugar cookies from scratch, but they are SO much work...AND, they don't always turn out. So, I'm all about the premade sugar cookie mix!! (Not so much chocolate chip or oatmeal, but sugar...yes!) Anyhow, I went to a Demarle cooking demo at a fellow consultant's house (Terri Poppingo) and she served these in the Petal Tray - loved them!! Here's the simple, easy to follow, directions with photos to follow :) You will need: 1 pouch of Sugar Cookie Mix (I used Betty Crocker, but Terri used Krusteaz) 1 egg (per package directions) 1 stick of room temp butter (per package directions) 1 - 2 tsp Almond Extract (depends on your liking, but Almond is very strong so I used only 1 tsp.) You could also substitute any extract to take on that flavor - Orange, Peppermint, Lemon...and then add a topping suitable for that flavor, crushed peppermints,
