These make some great soft and fluffy sugar cookies. I made them this week while my niece and nephew were with us. They were a big hit!
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp almond extract
2 cups flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Cream butter and sugar together. Mix in egg and almond. Add dry ingredients. Drop by rounded spoonfuls on your baking stone. Bake at 350 for 10-12 min, or until golden brown.
The icing pictured here is just milk, powdered sugar and a little bit of almond flavoring. But any icing would work!
