I agree, we do not use the almond extract due to an allergy. Cookies taste GREAT!!

I got my first Betty Crocker cookbook as a new bride (age 19)in 1963-I have made this sugar cookie recipe hundreds of times not only with my children but with my grandchildren at our cookie baking time during the Holidays. I am preparing them again shortly and this time I have a great grandson who will be joining us. The recipe doubles and triples nicely and it is the best tasting sugar cookie ever. My daughter, daughters in law and grandchildren and friends have made as high at 200 dozen cookies at Christmas time and all of them from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. We have never been disappointed. So, don't be afraid to try this recipe, even if you are a novice cook. The only hint I would give is that I use 1 jumbo egg rather than a regular egg. Makes a little richer dough. Eat and enjoy.

I love this cookie recipe! The dough is a little crumbly sometimes, I just add a little water or milk and they turn out ok. This was the first sugar cookie recipe I tried that used almond extract and it was amazing. I make these every few weeks now.

my kids loved them and had soooooo huch fun makeing them with me. They loved getting to cut out the animals and other things

I only use this recipe every christmas my whole family love these cookies and we lost our cookbook in a bad spill lol this website is a great resource thanks!!!!!
