This recipe comes from the Simply Recipes blog (here). Elise's version of sugar cookies is simple and fool-proof. Simply blend, chill, roll out, and bake. Here, I've added almond extract and moved around some measurements. I've also suggested the use of butter instead of Crisco for the royal icing.

Simple and fun cookies that are diabetic friendly!

My families traditional Christmas cookies.

My favorite Christmas treat from my Aunt Eileen

Every Christmas, we drag out my mother's old, food-stained Better Homes & Gardens cookbook for its recipe for Rolled Ginger Bread cookies. This year, in attempt to do better for my family and I, I changed things up a little bit. They smell (and taste) AMAZING.

My dad used to make these cookies for my birthday or at Christmas. I've made them several times, with several different variations and they are always a hit.

This receptive is for the cookie and the frosting

Classic powdered sugar balls without all the carbs - about 8 net carbs per 3 cookie serving. You could further reduce the carbs by using artificial sweetener.

A delicious nutty cookie filled with nuts and dried fruit.

Slightly crispy, deliciously caramel-flavoured and extraordinarily beautiful cut-out sugar cookies, made in a small batch for that special someone, are a hit in any goody basket! Frost with royal icing if you'd like, these are not too sweet alone.
