List of Ingredients




1 C. butter, softened (no substitutes)
3/4 C. sugar
1 t. almond extract
2 Cups all-purpose flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt

GLAZE:

1 1/2 Cups powdered sugar
1 t. almond extract
4-5 t. water
Sliced almonds

Recipe



Heat oven to 400 degrees.

Combine butter, sugar & almond extract in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1-2 minutes). Reduce speed to low; add all remaining ingredients. Beat until well mixed (1-2 minutes).

Roll dough into 1 inch balls; place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Flatten balls to 1/4 inch thickness with bottom of glass dipped in sugar.

Bake for 7-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Cool completely.

Stir glaze ingredients in small bowl, with wire whisk.
Decorate cooled cookies with glaze & sliced almonds. Glaze sets up quickly, so frost & decorate a few at a time.
