One of the original and more iconic flavors of the company. Until your typical sugar cookie, this one is soft, buttery and topped with a sweet almond icing. Follow this recipe from Cooking with Karli.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. almond extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour

Icing

- Scoop out ¼ cup of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough. Then flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or measuring cup.
- Place the flattened cookies on a baking sheet, about six per pan. Bake for nine to 11 minutes, or until the centers have puffed up. Let the cookies cool on the sheet.
- For the frosting, cream the butter until smooth. Slowly add in the powdered sugar, almond extract and milk until smooth and creamy. Then, add four drops of neon pink food coloring, if desired.
