Delicious and easy cookie recipes to make for Christmas are always on the top of my recipe list! I love Christmas cookies.

Serve them up at your next holiday party, as dessert for dinner tonight or as a special treat sent with kids and the hubbie for a nummy snack at school or work. Oh, and don't forget to put a few aside for yourself...think of that cup of Joe you are going to have later this afternoon, can you think of anything that would taste better along side that coffee than your own homemade cookies? I can't!

The List Of Cookies You Can Make At Christmas

My own personal favorite is my aunt's almond cookie recipe. These almond cookies are best when you let them sit for a couple days after baking. It seems to enhance the flavor. They are easy to make and absolutely delicious.

Here is the Almond Christmas Cookie Recipe:

3/4 cup of softened butter
1/4 cup of shortening
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 eggs
1 to 1.5 teaspoon of almond extract
1/2 cup of finely ground almonds
1 3/4 cups of sifted flour
Confectioner sugar

Preheat overn to 325 F.

Scoop dough into small balls and place on ungreased baking sheets.

I use cookie dough scooper...you can see it pictured below...

I place the dough on the cookie sheet about 2" apart. Bake until the cookies are done, but don't let them brown. It usually takes 14 to 15 minutes for them to bake. When you remove the cookies from the oven roll them in the confectioners sugar or sift the sugar on top of them. I do the roll...but some people don't like to, after all, the cookies are hot. I let the cookies cool and give them another roll in the confectioners sugar. I like my Almond Cookies sweet and tasty! I put them into plastic or metal tins so they are ready to hand out at the Cookie Swap.
