Buttery Almond Sugar Cookies — buttery soft almond flavored sugar cookies rolled in almond flakes. It’s the perfect cookie!
Sugar cookies are always great around the holidays or any time of year in my opinion. These Buttery Almond Sugar Cookies are perfect for a Christmas cookies exchange or a spring tea party. They are buttery and nutty with a lovely taste of almond in every bite; similar to a Good Humor toasted almond bar.

I love the taste and smell of almonds in desserts. It’s especially nice paired with cherries. If you dig that combination too, try my Cherry Coulis Fruit Sauce or Cherry Chocolate Chunk No-Churn Ice Cream. You may also like my Funfetti White Cake Cupcakes with Almond Cream Cheese Buttercream.
