    List of Ingredients




    Cookies:
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup butter or margarine, room temperature
    1 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1/2 teaspoon almond extract
    Milk, for brushing
    1/2 cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped (or as many as you need)
    Glaze:
    1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
    3 to 4 tablespoons milk

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
    In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a mixer beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and almond extract and beat well. Slowly add flour mixture and beat until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Turn the dough onto a clean work surface, and, with a sharp knife, divide the dough into 4 even pieces. Roll each piece into a 12 by 3-inch roll (or whatever size you like).

    Place 2 rolls on an ungreased cookie sheet, 4 inches apart. Repeat with remaining rolls. Brush rolls with milk and sprinkle with almonds. Bake until edges are lightly browned, about 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. While cookies are still warm cut them crosswise at a diagonal into 1-inch strips. Cool on a wire rack.

    For the glaze:
    In a small bowl, mix the sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over almond cookies. Let sit until glaze is set, about 15 minutes.
