Old Fashioned Glazed Sugar Cookies
3 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 large egg, slightly beaten
3 tablespoons cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Glaze:
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Sift dry ingredients, cut in butter and add other ingredients. Blend thoroughly; chill. Roll out on floured board or between wax paper. Cut out and put on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 5 to 8 minutes at 400 degrees. Cool on wire racks.
Glaze: Whisk together the confectioner's sugar, milk and almond extract. Dip cooled cookies in the glaze and let drip over bowl. Place on wax paper to dry. You may tint the glaze as desired, and use a tiny paintbrush to decorate the cookies. While the glaze is still wet, you may also sprinkle with colored sugars and other cookie toppings.
Makes about 5 dozen
