  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract

For the drizzle:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
  • Use a mixer to cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and mix well.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix on low until combined. Add the almond extract and mix well.
  • Use a cookie scoop to place about 1 tablespoon scoops of the dough on the cookie sheet about 3 inches part.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until just starting to brown on the edges.
  • Cool on a wire rack.

For the drizzle:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, almond extract, and heavy cream. Add additional heavy cream if it's too thick or additional powdered sugar if it's too thin to drizzle.
  • Drizzle the mixture over the cookies and sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds over the tops. Allow to dry before stacking.
