Almond Snickerdoodles? - 05/08/12 12:07 AM
I had to take a break from my computer this afternoon and make some cookies. Just had a compulsion to do this...
So I was thinking about sugar cookies, then thought of almond cookies, and then about what ingredients I actually had on hand...
In the end I made a favorite Snickerdoodle recipe (sugar cookies rolled in cinnamon and sugar) except that I added a cup of chopped almonds to the dough, and substituted almond extract for the vanilla.
Other than that, the only change I made was to add a bit of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture that I rolled 'em in.
I'd say it is a hit, ladies. Give it a try. And, if you don't already have access to a "Snickerdoodle Cookie" recipe, let me know. I can post mine here.
