Are you one of those people who love the store cookies, even though you feel like you shouldn't? There's just so soft, you can never get them that soft at home!... And so you indulge. Well now you don't have to!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (or less) nutmeg
Frosting
- 1/2 stick butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons almond extract
- 2 to 4 tablespoons hot water
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Cream butter and sugar in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla and almond extract. Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and nutmeg until just mixed.
2. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake until just starting to brown on the edges. Do not over bake! This is critical, if overdone, they will not be the store bought soft cookies you imagined indulging in.
3. While cookies are cooling, mix together the butter, powdered sugar, almond extract and water to desired consistency, then frost to your heart's desire!
