How to Make Almond Iced Shortbread Balls Gluten Free
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, dip or drizzle them with the icing. Sprinkle with extra almond slices, if desired.
- Let the icing set before serving and enjoying your delicious gluten-free almond shortbread balls!
