2. Roll out dough and cut out shapes.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, if you like a soft sugar cookie, bake a little shorter, if you like a crisp cookie, bake a little longer.
4. Cool cookies on rack.
5. For Filling:
6. 4 cups Powdered Sugar (I ended up using about 3 cups and the filling was pretty stiff)
7. 1/2 cup (1 stick) Butter, softened
8. 4 teaspoons Milk
9. 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
10. 1 drop Green Food Coloring
11. Beat butter until fluffy, gradually add a small amount of powdered sugar at a time, alternating with milk and almond extract until you get to your desired consistency.
12. Spread filling on one cookie and top with another. Add green sugar to edges, if desired. And drizzle with filling that has more green food color added.
