What is a Single Serve Cookie Recipe?
Single-Serve recipes are some of my favorite recipes to create because they make the perfect amount of cookies for you and just you! Okay, well technically this recipe does make *two* cookies so you could share if you want. But who wants to just eat one cookie!?
These recipes are perfect because they use such small amount of ingredients; you don't have to worry about softening a whole stick of butter when your cookie craving hits!

Almond Extract Cookies
I know, I know, almond extract is kind of an odd ingredient for sugar cookies. But adding almond extract to cookies doesn't make the cookies taste like an almond cookie, it just enhances the flavors of the vanilla.
If you've ever wondered why your vanilla recipe tastes different than your local bakery's vanilla cake, it's probably because they added a few drops of almond extract!
Almond extract has a very powerful flavor profile to it though, so you really only need a few drops whenever you're working with it. Even in bigger cake recipes, I only use about ¼-1/2 teaspoon at a time. Since this recipe is so small, I recommend only one to two drops will do!

I tried this recipe and for some reason it turned out like little dough balls rather than cookies?

Hmmm, I wonder what could have caused that? Was your butter room temperature? I'm sorry that happened though!
