Learn How it Works...
Cookie
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
4 to 5 teaspoons water
Sliced almonds
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.
Variations: Flavored: Substitute vanilla or mint flavoring for almond extract. Toppings: 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.
- Glaze sets up quickly. Frost and decorate just a few cookies at a time.
- If dough is too dry, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons milk.
