Christmas Cookie Swap: Almond Glazed Sugar Cookies

Christmas Cookie Swap:

almond glazed sugar cookies

We participated in a Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap and this was the recipe we received in the mail from Cheri at www.cherikirk.blogspot.com

Christmas Cookie Swap

I thought it would be a great opportunity for my children to help in the kitchen. Well, not so much, these babies were messy. They taste really good, but this momma wasn’t breaking out a buttered glass rolled in sugar to flatten them down!

Eldest and Princess practically fought over who would use the mixer and who would add ingredients,etc. I tried to give each child a turn to keep them happy.

super sticky cookies

We baked them and they look pretty good even though bumpy from not flattening them down. We have yet to glaze them, but may attempt that tomorrow if any of them are left!

Homemade cookies are a rarity around here even though we really like them. I hate the dishes and crumbs, lol.

Here’s Eldest shaping cookies by hand to create some fun shapes:
