Almond Butter Poinsettia Cookies

No matter how many types of beautiful cookies festoon a holiday gathering, this poinsettia cookie always cause the most buzz. It also disappears first.

Butter Almond Poinsettia Cookies | LunaCafeThis is a delicious rolled cookie, tender,  buttery, and not too sweet—which is tinted and shaped to look like a pink poinsettia. No matter how many types of beautiful cookies festoon a holiday gathering, this one always causes the most buzz. It also disappears first.

Butter Almond Poinsettia Cookies | LunaCafeLuckily, these cookies look more difficult to make than they actually are. The shaping technique is easy, although it does require just a bit of attention and patience. You will be well rewarded though for your efforts.

    These remind me of spritz cookies, which happen to be my favorite. I have a feeling these would be my “new” favorite.

    Tiffany made these for Christmas & they were wonderful. I lucky to have brought some home & Selaam & I just finished the last ones this morning. Definitely a deliciously special cookie!

      Thank you, EB, I’m so glad you liked them! I’ve got another sensational cookie for you and Tiffany that I’m testing today for LunaCafe’s February All Chocolate All Month It’s All about Love celebration. Nuvrei Bakery in the Pearl (http://www.nuvrei.com/) makes these and I have to buy one every time I am anywhere near their little shop or one of the coffee shops that sells their goodies. They are intensely chocolately, loaded with walnuts, and wonderfully chewy. I’m now offically addicted to them. 🙂
