Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. If desired, fold in chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Shape and Bake

    Using a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Make the Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Italian Cookies To Go!
