Cool completely.{My mom always told me the most important part of making sugar cookies was to take them out as soon as they were even slightly brown on the bottom, or not at all. I took mine out before they had even browned and left them on the cookie sheet to cool. That made them extra soft and delicious.}Almond Glaze:1 cup confectioner?s sugar1/4 tsp. almond extract2 Tb. water4 drops of food coloringStir all ingredients until smooth.Pour 1 teaspoon of glaze on each sugar cookie. Use the back of the teaspoon to spread glaze evenly over cookie. Let glaze dry.Serving Size: Makes about 3 dozen cookiesNumber of Servings: 36Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user WALLAHALLA.
