Christmas Pinwheel Sugar Cookies make an eye-catching and festive display to any Christmas table. A simple sugar cookie recipe is the base for these fun cookies. I got some clear bags and red ribbon to give these cookies out as early Christmas gifts to friends this past week.
Sometimes sugar cookies can be a bit bland, so I added some almond extract to make the flavour more interesting. The almond extract is subtle however, and doesn’t overpower the cookies. Fear not, if you don’t like almond flavors! It simply boosts the sugar cookies flavour, and will have you reaching for a second one. And if you really don’t want to use almond extract, just add another teaspoon of vanilla.
