Time 1h20m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped slivered almonds
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
4 to 5 teaspoons water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange peel

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F (if using dark or nonstick cookie sheet, heat oven to 375°F). In medium bowl, beat butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons orange peel and 1 teaspoon almond extract with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in flour, salt and almonds until well blended.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheet, place balls 1 inch apart. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In small bowl, stir all glaze ingredients, adding enough water to make a pouring consistency. In another small bowl, mix topping ingredients. Dip tops of cookies in glaze, then dip in topping. Place cookies in miniature paper baking cups if desired.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of orange-flavored desserts, but I decided to give these cookies a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! They're delicious! The orange flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
