Vacation

So Mel is in Panama until December 31st, (lucky B) so unfortunately Mel's Meals will be put on hold until she's back!
I thought I wouldnt completely rip you off of having no recipes, so today I'm sharing a Sugar Cookie Recipe. Very easy, and very yummy & works great for small gifts or party snacks!

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract

This makes about 36 cookies


Step 1 -  Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 2-  In mixing bowl, cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extracts. Mix flour and salt; add to butter mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition.
