Ingredients

1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened

³/₄ cup sugar

1 teaspoon almond extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

¹/₂ teaspoon baking powder

¹/₄ teaspoon salt

Glaze

1 ¹/₂ cups powdered sugar

How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 400°F.
STEP 2

Combine all cookie ingredients in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.
STEP 3

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten balls to 1/4 inch thick with bottom of buttered glass dipped in sugar. Bake 7-9 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
STEP 4

Whisk all glaze ingredients except almonds together in bowl. Decorate cooled cookies with glaze and sliced almonds, as desired.

Tip #1

If dough is too dry, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.

Tip #2

Glaze sets up quickly. Frost and decorate just a few cookies at a time.

Tip #3

Switch it up by substituting vanilla or mint flavoring for almond extract. You can also drizzle unglazed cookies with melted chocolate or vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark). Decorate glazed cookies with chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips or decorator sugars.
