I didn't have as great of luck with this recipe-I'm going to blame it on high altitude here in Colorado. My last batch turned out the best because I barely flattened the cookies (just enough to get the sugar on top) and only cooked them for five minutes. When I cooked them for seven minutes and really flattened them, they turned out overcooked and too flat.

I received a box of jam filled cookies at Christmas that were an almond flavored type sugar cookie. I decided to try to replicate them and used this recipe. I think mine were better! I filled the warm cookies with heated fruit spread and pressed two together to make a sandwich. They were so good, so sweet and buttery, I giggled with delight. I can't wait to share them with my mom!

These sugar cookies are great when you are craving real homemade sugar cookies, but don't have the time for all the cutouts and frosting. YUMMY

This recipe seems to be missing a couple of eggs. It was very dry like powder and would not roll into a ball, then I did add a couple of eggs. It worked out well. However, I really did not like the flavor at all and the glaze was not good either. My son hated this one as well.

These cookies are so melt-in-your mouth good! This is more of a shortbread cookie than traditional sugar cookie. We make lots of cookies at our house and this is a new favorite. We followed the recipe exactly although we omitted the sliced almonds on top. My daughter is making a batch right now with pink drizzled frosting for a valentines' party!

These cookies are delicious and pretty! My husband likes them without the frosting, but where is the fun in that?
