Today is day 11 of 12 Days of Christmas Cookies. These almond meltaways are another one of my hubby’s favorite cookies and mine too. I love how soft and light they are. Plus almond extract is one of my favorite flavors and they have sprinkles. So really how can you go wrong with this cookie? And the dough doesn’t have to be refrigerated, which is always a plus.
Happy Baking!
