Directions: |
Directions:Combine butter and 1 c. powdered sugar in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg, almond extract and salt; continue beating until mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour; beat until well mixed. Divide dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Shape dough, one-half at a time, (keeping remaining dough refrigerated until ready to use) into 1-inch balls. Cut each ball in half; roll each half into 4 1/2 inch rope. Gently twist two ropes together; shape into a wreath. Place 1-inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Cool 1 minute. Remove from cookie sheets; place on wire rack over waxed paper. Cool completely.
Combine all glaze ingredients in small bowl; stir until smooth. Brush glaze onto six cooled cookies using pastry brush. Immediately sprinkle with decorations as desired. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Variation: Dough can be shaped into candy canes or simply rolled into balls and baked. |
