Ingredients
Sugar Cookies
- 1 1/4 cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon almond extract secret ingredient!
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Buttercream Frosting
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup butter room temp
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoons almond extract secret ingredient!
Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
- Cream together sugar and butter. Beat in egg yolks and almond or vanilla extract.
- Add flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar and mix.
- (Note: dough will be firm, not like your normal cookie dough. Don't worry it is supposed to be this way.)
- Form dough into walnut size balls (about a tablespoon), break cookie dough ball in half, re-roll and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Don't flatten. Bake 10 minutes, until tops are cracked and just turning color. Let cool on tray before frosting.
Buttercream
- In a large bowl, cream together the confectioners' sugar and butter until smooth. Gradually mix in the milk and almond or vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and stiff, about 5 minutes. Color with food coloring if desired. This makes 3 cups, which may be more than you need to frost the cookies.
- Frost bottom side of one sugar cookie, then place one more cookie on top of buttercream. Roll in sprinkles if desired
- Serve, devour, and enjoy!
