Ingredients
- Cookies:
- 2 eggs
- 6 Tbsp softened butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract or vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp almond extract or vanilla extract
- 3-4 Tbsp cream or milk warmed
- Colorful sprinkles
Instructions
- Mix together eggs, oil, sugar, and extract in a mixing bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Roll dough by tablespoonfuls into balls. Chill balls of dough for at least an hour, or freeze for 15-20 minutes. Place cold dough balls on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Bake at 350° for about 9 minutes, or till tops are set. Bottoms will be lightly browned, but tops should still be white. Remove cookies to cooling racks and cool completely.
- For glaze, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk till smooth, adding enough warm cream to get a thin but creamy consistency.
- Dip tops of the cookies in the glaze, then top with sprinkles.
