Easy 5-Minute Sugar Cookie Bites Recipe

My favorite part during the holiday season is the sweets that are served at the table. They are just tasty and can instantly lift your mood, and recently, this recipe by The Slow Roasted Italian on Youtube has caught my attention, usually, I would make sugar cookies at their regular size, but I’m very interested in trying this version which comes in small bite-sized pieces. Try it at home, too, and expect it to be a hit for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup or 2 sticks of unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract
• 1¼ tsp of almond extract, divided
• 4 cups of all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp of salt
• 1½ cups of powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp of milk
• 1 tbsp of light corn syrup
• Sprinkles

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F, then line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and set them aside. In a mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar, then beat them together over medium speed for about 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, vanilla, and a teaspoon of almond extract, then continue to beat them until combined and beat in the salt along with 3 cups of flour until a smooth dough forms. Add a tablespoon of flour at a time until desired consistency of dough, then transfer to a lightly floured surface, and shape the dough into a rectangle at about ¼ inch thick.

Step 2

Cut the dough into 1-inch squares, then place them on the prepared baking sheets spacing them about an inch apart, and then bake them in the preheated oven for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Once done baking, let them cool down for about 5 minutes, then proceed to prepare the icing. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, and ¼ teaspoon of almond extract, then mix them together until smooth and well combined, and drizzle it over the cookies before adding some sprinkles. Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely, then serve, and enjoy!
