FROSTED ALMOND SUGAR COOKIES
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.

Steps:
- Cream the butter,lemon peel and suger until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla and flour, mix well. Mix in the almond meal.
- Chill the dough for one hour.
- Shape dough into 48 little logs and flatten slightly. You can freeze the cookies at this point.
- When ready to bake: dip each log into egg white, then roll in the flaked almonds. You will probably have to squeeze the log in your fist to get the almonds. I recommend getting both hand in there, you can wash up once they are formed.
- Place the logs close together on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 325 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes until a light golden brown.
- Sift powdered sugar over the cookies while they are still warm.

Tips:
- Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together. This will help to create a smooth and fluffy dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/4 inch. If the dough is too thick, the cookies will be too chewy. If the dough is too thin, the cookies will be too crispy.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out the cookies. You can use any shape of cookie cutter you like. If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into squares or rectangles.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are just starting to brown.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
These frosted almond sugar cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you enjoy them plain, with sprinkles, or with a dollop of frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these frosted almond sugar cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
