Hey sis,
Today, I was singing as I baked Nate some of his favorite cookies.
All the cookies where Kung Fu Fighting Rah
They went as fast as lighting Hah
In fact it was a little bit frighting Rah
They where eaten with expert timing Hah
There were crumbs everywhere
Throughout the kitchen
They littered the floor
And left the baker cookieless!
These are almond butter sugar cookies with a basic recipe of alone buttercream icing. Surprisingly, even I liked the recipe and I am not a sugar cookie girl. But, neither the cookie or icing are to sweet, and both have a mind butter and almond flavor. Yummy! I should get some sprinkles and add some food coloring next time. But, today I was lazy and just spread on the white icing on with a butter knife. Nate was still happy with desert anyway.
