Time 45m

Yield about 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
Silver nonpareils or Jordan almonds, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in the egg, then beat in the vanilla and almond extracts. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Cover and chill 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 1-inch mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 1/2 inches apart; flatten the mounds with your fingers. Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Make the frosting: Beat the butter, almond and vanilla extracts, and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cookies and top with nonpareils or Jordan almonds.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I used vanilla frosting instead. The cookies were still delicious.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them.

I had trouble getting the frosting to spread evenly. It was a bit too thick.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the frosting was amazing. I'll definitely be using that recipe again.

I love the combination of sugar cookies and almond frosting. The cookies are soft and chewy, while the frosting is smooth and creamy. I also appreciate that the recipe is easy to follow and doesn't require any special ingredients.
