Description
Delicious almond cookies topped with a sweet glaze and festive sprinkles, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Pinch of salt
- Holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Combine the butter, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Beat in the almond extract, then add the baking powder.
- Add the flour and mix until combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Using a small scoop, scoop the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet, keeping the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies, 1 baking sheet at a time, until they are turning golden on the bottoms, about 9 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then remove to cool completely.
- Once cool, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, almond extract and a pinch of salt. Whisk together, adding up to an additional tablespoon of milk, if needed. You want the glaze thin enough to dip the cookies in.
- Dip the top of each cookie into the glaze, then sprinkle with the holiday sprinkles before the glaze sets up.
- Let the cookies sit until the glaze has set.
Notes
- For a thinner glaze, add more milk a little at a time.
- You can use different types of sprinkles for variety.
