I was quite disappointed by how these cookies turned out. I followed what other reviews said by substituting vanilla for the almond extract and by rolling out a bit thinner. They lack the sweetness that sugar cookies usually have and seemed a bit "heavy" to me almost more like a shortbread cookie than a sugar cookie.

These were very good. My husband almost had the whole batch gone. I had also used the Butter Icing for Cookies recipe.

My new favorite! These were very tender and lightly sweetened. I used butter flavored shortening and vanilla (instead of almond). Yummy!

I agree, these cookies taste like cardboard. On the upside they are easy to roll out and cut (my two year old helped me). However, the taste leaves much to be desired, I prefer store bought cookies to these. My cookies ended up with a slightly grainy texture, I am not sure why.

I substituted 4 cups of the white flour for whole wheat flour, they puffed up nice and thick like little cookie biscuits. Wonderful! My family raved about them. My mom took them to work and all her co-workers loved them.

I liked the almond flavor. We decorated with royal icing and they turned out beautifully. Thanks, Emily.

Not sure what was different for me but these were terrible. I thought the ingredients were unusual but followed others advice substituting Vanilla for Almond and rolling a bit thinner. They taste like cardboard. If you only are looking for appearance then these are great, just don't eat them.
