These were very good almost like a shortbread cookie.
Prep time: 50 Minutes
Start to finish: 1 Hour 50 Minutes
Servings: 24
Temp: 350
Ingredients: (cookie)
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. almond extract
2 cups AP flour
Red, Green and White sanding sugar (make sure to get sugar that isn't mixed I made that mistake and that is why mine aren't a solid color)
1- In a large bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar and the salt with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until creamy. Beat in almond extract. on low speed beat in flour just until combined. Cover; and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2- Heat oven to 350. line cookie sheets with parchment. Shape dough in 48 (3/4") balls. Roll 16 balls in each color of the sanding sugar, coating completely. On cookie sheets, place balls 1" apart.
3- bake 15 minutes or until set and bottoms are light golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets and on to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Ingredients: (frosting)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp almond extract
1 tbsp milk
In a small bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, almond extract and milk with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
*For each sandwich cookie; spread about 1/2 tsp (I had lots leftover so you can be a little more generous) of frosting on bottom of 1 cookie; top with a second cookie of the same color bottom side down to form a ball.
These turned out so yummy and so adorable! They store very well in a Ziploc bag.
