Source of Recipe


Betty Crocker






Recipe Introduction


A dusting of sweet powdered sugar hides a delicately spiced, buttery sugar cookie.






List of Ingredients



• 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix
  
• 3/4 cup finely chopped toasted almonds
  
• 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
  
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  
• 1 cup powdered sugar
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir together cookie mix, almonds, allspice, cardamom and cinnamon. Stir in butter, vanilla and almond extract until soft dough forms.
   
2. Shape level tablespoonfuls of dough into balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart.
   
3. Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until set. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack.
   
4. Place powdered sugar in shallow bowl. Gently roll warm cookies in powdered sugar to coat all sides; place on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Roll in sugar again.
