July 4th cookies

So I've been wanting to make cookies.
With birthdays and showers abound I thought I'd give it a go for July 4th.
I was not disappointed with my first result.
However, you do learn from your mistakes,
and I learned from these.
They definitely looked better than they tasted!
I put almond extract in both the cookie dough and the icing.
It was too much and gave them a rather pungent
kind of taste, something just was not right.
After my husband Sam had a taste,
he agreed, too much almond.
So I decided to take it out altogether and just use vanilla.
Much better!
Ethan thinks so too!
Infact, as we were coming down to breakfast he asked me "Cookie?"
Of course I gave him one! ;)
