In the spring, a young man’s thoughts might turn to love, but in the fall, my thoughts turn to… BAKING!

Yes, it’s baking time. Hear ye, hear ye! It is time to get thee some flour, butter and sugar and follow me!

The following recipe is not mine. It comes from the blog of the lovely, and talented Tartelette

I did make some changes:I added 1/4 tsp of almond oil and one drop of red food color and I cut the recipe in half. I’m not going to post the recipe here because I really want you to visit Tartelette. It’s worth the, ‘drive’ from my blog to hers. She is very talented in the kitchen and is also writing a cook book.

Ingredients:flour, powdered sugar, egg whites, butter, almond extract, food coloring if desired. Sorry for the yellow hue. My camera is messed up. If anyone works for Canon and wants me to try their product (for free of course) and write about it extensively, you just let me know! lol

My high tech sifting system.

Now for the batter…

Ack! It’s pink! Well, yes, it IS pink Saturday.

The finished product. Prior to placing cookies into the oven, I mashed slices of almonds into the wet batter. I had to add flour to my batter, could be because of the high altitude. This may be the reason they turned out a bit sponge as you’re not supposed to over blend the batter. They smell and taste great and the pink color makes them ultra girly, like me!
