Glazed Almond Sugar Cookies

Can I hear you say YUM?  Jeff and Josh went over to our brother-in-laws (& uncle - Matt) one Saturday afternoon to watch them grind up some large bales.  Before they left they were served some cookies by Matt's mom.  I was told I had to get the recipe so I got in touch with my sister-in-law, Sheri to see if she could get this recipe and here it is.  If you didn't know, Josh isn't a sweets lover but he does love almost anything with almond flavoring in it.  So, of course he loves these cookies!


1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix (full size not the snack size)
1/2 c. butter or margarine (softened)
1/2 c. chopped slivered almonds
1/2 t. almond extract
1 egg

Mix all above ingredients until it forms a soft dough.  Roll dough in 1" balls.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Press cookies down with a glass dipped in sugar.  Bake at 350 degrees 7-9 minutes.  Cool completely.  Spread glaze (recipe below) over cookies.  Top cookies with almond slices (toasted if you want).

Glaze:
1 c. powdered sugar
1/4 t. almond extract
3-7 t. milk
Combine until the glaze is spreadable.
