Almond Wreaths Cookie part 1 cup butter 1 cup powdered sugar 1 egg 1/2 tsp almond extract 1/8 tsp salt 2 1/2 cups flour Glaze 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1 tsp almond extract 1 tsp light corn syrup 2-3 Tbsp water Combine butter an 1 cup powdered sugar in a 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 in plastic wrap, chill 30 minutes. Heat oven to 375 F. Shape dough, one half at a time(keep other half in fridge) into 1 inch balls. Cut each ball in half, roll each half into 4.5 inch long ropes. Gently twist two ropes together and make wreath shape. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 7-8 minutes or until edges are brown. Cool one minute, remove from sheets and place on racks over wax paper. Cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients in small bowl, stir until smooth. Brush glaze onto a couple of cookies and sprinkle on decorations. Repeat with remaining cookies. I will mention that you should only glaze 2-3 at a time and then decorate. The glaze dries quickly and the decorations won't stick once dry. Music: Jason Shaw You Tube user/audionautix www.youtube.com/user/audionautix
