Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 3 tablespoons milk of choice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 3 tablespoons milk of choice
- Sprinkles of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk together 3 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Beat ½ cup butter and ¾ cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in 3 eggs one at a time. Mix in 2 teaspoons almond extract and 3 tablespoons milk.
- Add dry ingredients and mix just until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon portions onto sheets. For round cookies, roll each into a ball.
- Bake 9–11 minutes until tops look set and bottoms are pale golden. Cool 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon almond extract, and 3 tablespoons milk until smooth. Adjust with a little milk or powdered sugar to reach a slow-ribbon consistency.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon glaze over each cooled cookie. Immediately add sprinkles. Let set.
Notes
- Ensure that butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best results.
- Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more powdered sugar or milk as needed.
