No-Roll Sugar Cookies

Six easy ingredients will let you make melt-in-your-mouth sugar cookies anytime.

Ingredients:

4       cups Original Bisquick® mix

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

3/4    cup butter or margarine, softened

1       teaspoon almond extract

2       eggs

1       cup granulated sugar 

Directions:

• 1 Heat oven to 400ºF. In large bowl, stir all ingredients except granulated sugar until soft dough forms.
• 2 Shape dough into balls, about 1 inch in diameter; roll in granulated sugar to coat. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls about 2 inches apart. Flatten balls slightly with bottom of glass.
• 3 Bake 5 to 6 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks to cool. Store in airtight container.

Expert Tips:

Make cookies as directed--except drop dough by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a sugared glass bottom. (Cookies will be less rounded.)

Use orange food color paste or yellow and red liquid food colors to tint the dough a Halloween orange. You can also roll the dough balls in colored sugar before baking.
