Meltaway Almond Cookies Recipe

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Then in a bowl combine the butter, granulated sugar, and eggs together. Mix until light and add in your almond extract.

Step 3

In a small bowl you can put your flour, baking powder and salt in it. Then ½ a cup at a time add to your wet mixture. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

Roll into small balls and place on a baking dish. I used a silicone mat to prevent sticking, so if you don't use one grease the pan with cooking oil. In the center of each ball I kind of push down the cookie a little with my finger, making a little well.

Step 7

Bake for 8-9 minutes. They will be soft still, put on a cooling rack. Once cookies have cooled for around 5 minutes you can then mix up the icing.

Step 9

Now you can make the icing, it does harden quickly so don't make ahead. Combine the powdered sugar, milk and almond extract in a small bowl. Mix well.

Step 11

Then pour into three separate bowls. If you want to make the icing ombre put one drop of red food coloring in one of the bowls and two drops in another bowl. Leave the third icing white.

Step 13

Put a little dollop of icing on each cookie, serve and enjoy!
