Description

These delicious almond glazed cookies are light, airy, and topped with colorful sprinkles.


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

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Whisk 3 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. Beat ½ cup butter and ¾ cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Beat in 3 eggs one at a time. Mix in 2 teaspoons almond extract and 3 tablespoons milk.
  5. Add dry ingredients and mix just until a soft dough forms.
  6. Scoop 1 tablespoon portions onto sheets. For round cookies, roll each into a ball.
  7. 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.
  8. Whisk 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.
  9. Spoon about 1 teaspoon glaze over each cooled cookie. Immediately add sprinkles. Let set.
