Do you enjoy holiday baking?! We’re starting early around our house this year so that we can have some tasty cookies to enjoy when family visits for Thanksgiving. We were up visiting my parents yesterday, so my mom and I headed up to Walmart and picked up the items we needed for this recipe, then headed home to start baking! It’s easy to find tons of great holiday baking recipes out there, but I have one I bet you haven’t tried yet and is something a little less traditional to enjoy for the holidays. Since I can remember, my mom has been making these Almond Squeeze-It Cookies for the holidays. They are EXCELLENT cookies to enjoy in the morning with a hot cup of coffee. They aren’t overly sweet and they aren’t too hard to make either!

Almond Squeeze-It Cookies from The Cards We Drew--perfect with coffee #HolidayButter #cbias #holidaybaking

How to Make Almond Squeeze-It Cookies

Start by gathering up your ingredients (full printable recipe available at the bottom of this post)

What you need:

Almond Squeeze-It Cookies ingredients using Land O' Lakes Butter #HolidayButter #cbiasThere are not too many ingredients to this cookie, which is pretty nice! You will need a food processor or something to grind up the almonds.

Use food processer to puree almonds

Start by using a food processor to chop up your almonds (if you’re EXTREMELY unlucky, like us, you won’t have to cut the almond up by hand—our food processor BROKE one cup into grinding them up! OY VEY! So we cut them up very slowly into a fine grit…but I don’t recommend doing it that way unless you have to). They need to be VERY fine and almost powder like for this recipe. I suggest using shelled/slivered almonds.

mix together dry ingredients and pureed almonds

Once your almonds are ready, mix in the other dry ingredients including the confectioners sugar, flour, and ground almonds. Mix together well.

put cold Land O' Lakes butter into mixture and gently mix in using your hands

Add in your COLD Land O’ Lakes butter…yes, I said cold. Don’t melt it! Use two knives and cut the butter into the dry ingredients until all the chunks of butter are roughly dime or nickel size. From there, wash your hands and gently crumble the butter and dry ingredients together…this is the most time consuming part of the recipe.

what the cookie dough should look like before forming the squeeze-its

When your butter and dry ingredients mixture looks like this (above) then you’re ready to create your “squeeze-its”. Notice that it’s lightly crumbled together.

How to create the almond squeeze-it cookieNow you get to make your squeeze-its! See the above demonstration…get a small handful of “dough”, squeeze, and there’s your cookie. These cookies aren’t gonna win prettiest cookie of the year award, BUT they might win tastiest! They have a great, light, not too sweet taste to them that adults especially enjoy!

form all of the dough into squeeze-its and bake on cookie sheetSqueeze all your cookies together and place on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. They don’t expand at all, so they can be placed close together and baked all at once.

after they come out of the oven you'll notice that they haven't changed shape much

When they come out of the oven, you’ll want to get another cup of confectioners sugar out and gently roll them in powdered sugar for some extra sweetness to them.

roll the cookies in powdered sugar and enjoy!

Roll your cookie in powdered sugar and then enjoy with a hot cup of coffee, hot tea, or even cocoa.

These cookies are usually a staple for my family on Christmas morning when we’re getting our hot drink and starting to open up presents! Like I mentioned before, you won’t win the world’s prettiest cookie award with these, but your friends and family will really enjoy their taste and texture. My husband, who hates most sweets, loves these cookies because they are such a great blend of savory and not too sweet.

    I noticed in the ingredient list you have vanilla extract but I didn’t seem to find it in the recipe. Maybe I overlooked it? When do you add it? Thanks so much!
