Why Add Almond to Your Treats?
Let’s face it: adding almond just makes your average cake or cookie taste fancy. Don’t believe it? Think about any wedding or bridal shower you’ve attended. What sets those sweets apart? Most contain almond extract.
Almond is one of those flavors where a little goes a long way. For instance, I never add more than a teaspoon of almond extract to a cookie recipe, if even that. It doesn’t take much, I promise.
Oh, but when you get the amount right, you add a flavor that just cries out, “I’m a luxury item!” No, really! My cut-out sugar cookies, my DIY wedding. . .they all have almond in them.
For those recipes and many more, keep reading! You’re about to discover some of my favorite almond-infused treats, perfect for guests or your own family.
