Spring has finally sprung!    While spring came in with 6 inches of cold, wet snow, it’s finally starting to warm up and the sun is shining.  Easter is less then 2 weeks away and I’m ready for warm weather and sunshine.

Spring has sprung with these fun and delicious Almond Sugaar Cookies

I was looking for a cookie to brighten up my day and found these tasty little almond sugar cookies.   I like that the cookie is the perfect balance between all purpose flour and almond flour.   It makes the cookie firm enough that it holds together well but it’s super tender and flavorful.   The bottoms get a little brown and crisp but the cookie itself is light and buttery.

The thing that makes these cookies really fun is the bright colored sugar.    Before the cookies are baked they are rolled in colored sugar.  I used bright blue, neon pink, and yellow.   I thought these were great colors for spring and Easter.

While baking the cookies puffed up and made perfect circles.  The colored sugar sparkled like bright jewels.   These cookies not only tasted amazing but they were so pretty!    I took a few to school and everyone raved about the color and the flavor.  These have got to be one of my favorite cookies to date.
