Chickpea has been asking to make dog shaped cookies for weeks and weeks now. I'm not quite sure how she got that idea in her head but it was finally time to indulge it. Here is the recipe that I adapted in my usual quest to get a little nutrition into treats. I put half of this dough in the freezer for another rainy day and it made plenty. They were pretty yummy.
Almond Sugar Cookies- 2 sticks butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup white flour
Cream together butter and sugar. Add egg, baking powder, almond and vanilla extracts until combined. Stir in almond meal and flours until smooth. Divide and wrap dough in parchment and put in the fridge until cool and firm. Roll out on well floured board to 1/4 inch and cut with shapes. Bake on an ungreased sheet for 6-9 minutes at 350 degrees.
