Soft Almond Sugar Cookies

I've been experimenting baking with things other than butter. Some I like, and some, well, are not that tasty....

But this recipe is a winner! 

It's made with canola oil, no butter. They are not greasy at all, like some of the recipes I've tried with oil. These are soft, sweet sugar cookies. I LOVE almond, so I added almond flavoring along with the vanilla. Maybe that's why I can't seem to leave them alone!

They are even better with this great find at Costco today:

I was so happy to find a pack of Starbucks with three different flavors of hot chocolate, and for such a great price.

 A cup of the Double Chocolate and a sugar cookie are a perfect fall treat!
