About the Recipe: These cookies are the perfect partner for a hot cup of tea or coffee.  Rolling them thicker will make them more cake-like and thinner dough makes the cookie crisp. The glaze dresses them up for holiday serving, topped with a few simple toasted almond slices and a dash of green sprinkling sugar.

Prepare Almond Glaze:  In a small bowl, mix confectioners’ sugar, almond extract, water, and a few drops of natural green food coloring.  Add enough water to have a glaze.  Brush lightly over cooled cookies; garnish the center of each cookie with several sliced almonds. If desired, lightly sprinkle with green sprinkling sugar.

Yield:  3 to 3-1/2 dozen cookies
