How to Make Almond Butter Cookies With Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon almond extract until well combined.
- Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place balls 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
- Dip a flat-bottomed glass in granulated sugar and gently flatten each cookie ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Let cool for 1 minute on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **For the frosting (optional):** In a small bowl, combine ½ cup powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon almond extract. Stir in milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach desired spreading consistency.
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread frosting evenly over each cookie.
- Garnish with a sliced almond (optional).
