Glazed almond tea cakes











supposed to be like ham n' goody's!

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoon almond extract (She substituted Amaretto di Saronno)
4 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (She substituted Amaretto di Saronno)
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon evaporated milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add almond extract, flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Chill dough thoroughly (Do not skip this process.) Roll chilled dough into sheets and using favorite cookie cutter, cut and place on baking tray. (Do not put too close as they spread out alot). Bake until edges are set, but not very dark. You want them to be very soft. Remove from oven, let cool slightly. Mix the glaze ingredients and apread over cookies while still warm.
