Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp almond extract (can never go wrong with anything almond)
3 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Icing:
1 lb. powdered sugar (1 box)
6 Tbsp whole milk
5 Tbsp light corn syrup
1 tsp almond extract (can never have enough)

Directions:
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Put in egg and extract. Whisk in a separate bowl flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until completely combined.

I then roll my dough between 2 sheets of waxed or parchment paper. I've also found the trick in putting my dough in the refrigerator before oven so help. Then bake at 350 for 8-12 min. (my oven is right at 8 min depending on thickness).

Icing:
Combine your sugar and milk first until smooth; then stir in corn syrup and extract

You will use the same recipe for glazing and piping if you get into decorating (which is always my favorite part!) The way it is right now is the consistency you want for glazing. It's smooth and fairly thin. To prepare the icing for piping, you just add more powdered sugar until hard to whisk.
