These are super delicious. I made these after making another sugar cookie recipe to bring to work. I could have just skipped the others these are the best and were all I needed, no one could stop eating them. Crispy outside, soft inside, these are sooooo good. I used a little more vanilla than almond extract and mine didn't flatten out as much as the ones pictured, but they were still delicious. I've already made these twice and I'm about to make some more right now.Reply
