King Arthur's Special Sugar Cookies
"Just what makes these worthy of the name "Special"? Well, they're just right to accompany lemonade on the porch or hot cocoa on a wintery snow day afternoon. The addition of cream cheese to the dough lends tenderness and a bit of tang to create a cookie that appeals to both children and adults, while a bit of almond extract gently perfumes the cookies. They also politely keep their shape when baked. This is a cookie that could potentially have it all — making it really special to a baker!..."
