Time 2h20m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 teaspoons milk
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
5 to 6 teaspoons milk
3 tablespoons sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper; spray with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, softened butter, egg, flour and 1 teaspoon almond extract until dough forms.
  • Divide dough into 3 pieces. Place 2 dough pieces on first cookie sheet. Press each piece into 12x2 1/2-inch rectangle, leaving 4 inches between rectangles. Place remaining piece of dough on second cookie sheet, and repeat shaping.
  • Brush each rectangle with 1/2 teaspoon milk; sprinkle with 1/4 cup almonds. Press almonds lightly into tops of dough.
  • Bake one cookie sheet at a time 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown (center will look soft). Cool 1 minute. Using sharp knife, cut each log into 1-inch diagonal slices, making sure to cut completely through almond slices while cutting. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack, leaving slices on parchment paper. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In small bowl, stir powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and 5 to 6 teaspoons milk until desired consistency. Drizzle over cookies; sprinkle 3 tablespoons almonds over tops. Let stand about 1 hour or until glaze is set. Store loosely covered at room temperature up to 2 days.

I found that the cookies spread a bit too much in the oven. I think I might try chilling the dough for a bit before baking them next time.

These almond cookies were a delightful treat! They had a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. The almond flavor was perfectly balanced, and the cookies were not too sweet. I will definitely be making these again soon.
