Directions
Almond Butter Cookies, I love butter cookies and when you add almond and chocolate yum! Originally from a Land O’Lakes butter insert , The combination of almond and chocolate flavours in these rich cookies is really outstanding! The amount of almond extract is just right a bit of almond flavour without it being overwhelming I made these a bit on the large side but made smaller they’d be perfect on a Christmas sweet tray One tip: The glaze thickens at room temperature so decorate the cookies when the glaze is slightly warm or just reheat it for a few seconds in the microwave Thanks, Marg I’ll be making these again!
