Preparation

Step 1

glaze: 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar 8 tablespoons amaretto (cause I'm a boozy kinda girl - you can use milk if you wish - but if you do, add some flavoring - almond or vanilla would work!) Decorator sugars Preheat oven to 375. Using electric hand mixer, mix butter, sugars, flour and milk. Dough will be stiff. Using a tablespoon, scoop out a scant tablespoon of dough. Using a teaspoon, scoop out a teaspoon of almond paste. Shape dough into a ball, covering the teaspoon of almond paste. You should get close to 4 dozen cookies using this method. Bake 10 - 12 minutes or until set and bottom is golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet and cool. Make glaze and spread over top of cooled cookie. Sprinkle with decorator sugars and enjoy!
