Got this from the side of a Land O Lakes butter package. I love the flavor of chocolate and almond. At Christmas I usually make them into little square packages and then draw small strings of green or red frosting to make them look like little packages. Try these this holiday. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
3/4 cup butter |
1 egg yolk |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa |
melted chocolate chips |
melted almond bark |
nuts |
colored crystal sugar |
candied fruit |
maraschino cherry |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375*.
2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except flour and cocoa.
3. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 min.).
4. Gradually add flour and cocoa until well mixed.
5. (2-3 min).
6. Shape rounded teaspoonfuls as desired.
7. You can make them into 1 inch balls, 2-3 inch logs, balls flattened, balls with indentations etc.
8. You can make them in a cookie press too.
9. Place 1 apart on cookie sheets.
10. Bake 7-9 minutes or until set.
11. Cool.
12. Decorate with melted chocolate chips, melted almond bark, nuts, colored sugars, candied fruit, candies, maraschino cherries, etc.
