Description

Ingredients

• FOR THE COOKIES:
• 2 cups flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks butter, softened
• ¾ cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar, divided
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons pure almond extract (I LOVE Penzeys!)
• FOR THE GLAZE:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 Tablespoon milk
• 2 teaspoons almond extract

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Whisk together dry ingredients for the cookies, set aside.
• In your mixer, cream together: butter, sugar, egg and almond extract.
• Slowly add in the dry ingredients, and mix until smooth.
• To form cookies, roll into balls, and press to flatten with the bottom of a glass.
• Bake for about 8 minutes. Watch closely as ovens will vary. When the edges begin to golden take them out, they are done!
• Cool on a wire rack while you prepare the glaze.
• For the glaze, mix together ingredients, frost or drizzle on warm cookies. Glaze will set while cookies cool completely.
• Wonderful with a cup of tea!
