Italian Cookies

This is a great recipe given to me by one of our stained glass customers. You really should try it!!!

1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
3 eggs
3 c. flour, sifted (I just use a wire mesh strainer)
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. almond flavor

1. Cream together butter, eggs, sugar and almond flavor.
2. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Slowly add to butter mixture.
3. Mix well. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes. Cookies should be just barely golden on the bottom; don't overcook.
5. Make icing with powdered sugar and milk; I like to add a little melted butter to help the icing dry and harden. I also like to ice the cookies when they are still a little warm so the icing melts into the cookies a little bit.

Enjoy! They're sooo good!
