By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 c. butter
• 3/4 c. sugar
• 1 t. almond extract
• 2 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 t. baking powder
• 1/4 t. salt

Preparation

Step 1

Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat about 10 seconds, until very soft but not melted. Stir together butter, sugar and extract. Add dry ingredients; mix well. If dough seems too dry, add another tablespoon or so of butter. Form into one-inch balls; place on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten to 1/4-inch thickness with the bottom of a glass jar. Bake at 400 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool.

Drizzle Chocolate Glaze over cookies; let stand until glaze sets.

Makes 5-1/2 to 6 dozen.

Chocolate Glaze:
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a small saucepan, stir ingredients over very low heat until melted and smooth.
