My New Favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe!

I have shared a sugar cookie recipe on here before, but I visited my old college roommate, Brinda, last year who shared this recipe with me, and I fell in love! It has almond extract in it. I don't like almond extract! But I love these cookies. The key is to not put too much almond extract in. DO NOT OVERDO IT! Put even less than it says if you want, but don't accidentally put in more, or it will be gross. This is your warning! :)

Mama's Sugar Cookies from Brinda

1 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond extract (and not a drop more!!!)
4 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cream together margarine and sugar until smooth, add eggs and mix again until fluffy. Add vanilla and almond. Add flour, soda, and salt, mix well. Refrigerate for two hours (or as long as you can stand it...I'm not patient! but it is kind of important for handling the dough without it being sticky). Roll out 1/4 inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 350 degrees for six minutes. Let cool on sheet for a few minutes and then move to rack to continue cooling. (Six minutes might be too short depending on your oven. I would say 6-8 minutes).
