These Christmas sugar cookies are fun for the whole family to make and SOOOO yummy!

I can’t wait to share with you the sugar cookie recipe that my mother used when I was a little girl.  She got it from her dear friend Jane, who is an excellent cook, and every time I make it I think fondly of them both – – – two of my favorite women and personal heroes!

But enough with the gushy stuff, let’s get to the recipe!  I think the reason these Christmas sugar cookies are so good is that they have almond extract in them.  Mmmm . . . I do love me some almond extract!

I made these cookies with my kids, so I don’t have any “blog-worthy” photos for you.  Just sloppy cookies with gleeful kids!

Here is the recipe.  To decorate them, do whatever you would like.  We used sprinkles and some pre-made colorful frosting from the store to top the homemade frosting with details.

***You do not need to double this recipe.  It makes a lot of cookies.***
