Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Sprinkles for decorating
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on wire racks.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract to make the glaze. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
- Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the glaze and then sprinkle with festive decorations.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving or storing in an airtight container.
