1 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup + 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
Cookie Glaze (see recipe below)
Cream butter in a large mixing bowl; gradually
add sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Sift
in flour and cornstarch, mix well. Add flavorings,
blending well. Chill 1 hours.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 3" apart
on greased cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie with
the bottom of a small glass dipped in water. Bake
in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
(Cookies do not brown, but should be cooked
through to center). Carefully remove to wire
cooling rack (cookies very fragile).
Spread cookie glaze evenly over each while still
warm. Cool and store in airtight containers.
