I have found a sugar cookie I can really get behind. Not just an excuse to have pretty red and green colors but actually a tasty cookie you’d want to eat on its own.
I found this wonderful recipe on Food52. And why shouldn’t it be wonderful? It comes from the mother of the co-founder of the site, Amanda Hesser! I tweaked it just a tiny, tiny bit by adding a bit of almond extract. Sam and I had a blast making them.
A couple notes: The recipe makes A LOT of cookies. The batter barely fit in my mixer. If you’re not cooking for gifts, you may wish to half the recipe. Also, I made the dough a full week before baking the cookies, and it was absolutely fine.
