Pound Cake Cookies

I have tried 20-30 different sugar cookies recipes, and in my opinion these are the best. Slightly crunchy on the outside and soft and cake-like on the inside. I use the mini ice-cream scoop to get all the cookies the same size and bake for 9 minutest at 375 degrees. (I like my cookies a little brown around the edges.) Try them, you'll like them.

Fabulous!! Used a cream cheese butter frosting and red sprinkles and everyone loved them. I'm not an almond extract fan but went ahead anyway and was glad I did. They are crispy on the edges and soft in the center. I used my middle cookie scoop, and dipped the bottom of a glass in sugar to flatten. Made 18 cookies.

This is a very good and very easy recipe. I was seduced by some comments which said it was close to Lofthouse cookies. I agree, tastewise, it is very close. However, the texture is not the same. Mine were quite crunchy on the outside, and slightly soft in the middle-- and that's cooking them BARELY beginning to golden on the edges. Lofthouse, of course, have no crunch at all. I did experiment with undercooking these a bit, and they were indeed more soft, but actually tasted undercooked. That said, as a sugar cookie not being compared to a famous brand, they are really outstanding unto themselves and super easy. I am posting the quick pink "Lofthouse" frosting I made for them. Try it out, it makes exactly enough for this recipe, and the cookies look outstanding.

This cookie is so good that it's requested year round! They are relatively easy to whip up. If I'm in a hurry I just use store-bought icing to ice them, but it's no where near as good as the Buttercream Icing. You won't regret trying this recipe!
