List of Ingredients
- 1 cups Pillsbury BEST All Purpose or Unbleached Flour
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/3 cup Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Chocolate Frosting (from 16-oz. can)
- Assorted decorator gel icing
Instructions
- Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In small bowl, combine flour, almonds, sugar, butter and almond extract; beat at low speed until dough clings together. Divide dough in half; shape each half into a rectangle. Cover dough with plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes for easier handling.
- Heat oven to 375 F. On floured surface, roll out 1 rectangle of dough at a time to 1/4-inch thickness. Keep remaining dough refrigerated. With fluted pastry cutter or pizza cutter, cut into 4x1-inch rectangles. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 375 F. for 9 to 13 minutes or until bottoms are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute. Remove from cookie sheets; place on wire racks. Cool 5 minutes or until completely cooled.
- Place frosting in small resealable food storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut small hole in bottom corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe frosting across cookies in wavy line to resemble wire. With gel icing, place about 5 (1/4-inch) dots along wire for light bulbs.
