Here is a yummy recipe that I made today for my husbands work. Let me tell you, you can devour the whole batch :).... They are that good!!! My favorite dessert is sugar cookies, so I like to play around with flavors a lot to get the perfect cookie.. This time I put lots of ALMOND extract in them!! I personally think they give them that extra yumminess to them!!

Roll out the dough, then put into the refrigerator for an hour (can stay in the refrigerator for 1 day if needed).
Once it has been chilled, roll out to desired thickness (1/4 of an inch thick is optimal). Cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 7-10 minutes.
