Ingredients




1 stick of Butter
1 cup of Sugar
1 can of Almond Filling*
1 small Orange
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 cups of Flour
1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 cup of Powdered Sugar
3 tablespoons of Milk
1 teaspoon of Vanilla (for the frosting)

Preparation

1 Start out as any good dessert recipe should; by creaming together your butter and sugar. 2 Next up you'll add in your can of almond filling, your egg, vanilla, the zest of your orange and juice from 1/2 of the orange squeezed; about 1 tablespoon's worth. 3 Mix it together well and then add in the flour and the baking soda. 4 Once you've incorporated the dry ingredients, grab up a cookie sheet, line it with parchment, and spoon out heaping teaspoons of the dough. 5 Place your cookies in the oven at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Bring them out to cool. 6 While the cookies are cooling, you'll mix together your powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Once the cookies are cooled, grab a brush (or the back of a spoon) and glaze the tops of your cookies. If you'd like to be a bit pretty, you can add a few slivered almonds to the top.
