ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES WITH FROSTING
Easy to make almond-butter cookies, frosting optional. The flavor is delicate and very yummy. I am a novice in the kitchen and made these one night in about 30 min on a whim. The frosting hardens quickly, but it's easy to add water and microwave 15-30 seconds to soften it up again for spreading. I found this recipe on the back of the Publix sweet cream butter (unsalted) package; the credits on the package are "Publix Apron's Simple Meals"

BUTTERY ALMOND COOKIES
Made with high-fat, cultured butter, these melt-in-your-mouth almond cookies are like the most tender shortbread you've ever eaten. A simple confectioners' sugar icing and a sliced almond topping make them especially pretty, but you can skip the garnish for something sleeker and simpler. Or use them to make sandwich cookies, filling them with the likes of lemon curd, raspberry jam or melted chocolate.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together flours, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.
- In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and granulated sugar until lightened in color and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in egg yolk and almond extract until combined, about 20 seconds. With the mixer running on low, add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Divide dough into two balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 1 1/2-inch-thick log. (If the dough is too soft to work with, chill it for 20 to 30 minutes before forming it into logs.) Wrap logs tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap, and refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- When you are ready to bake the cookies, heat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Use large, sharp knife to cut each log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place cookies 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake until cookie edges and bottoms are golden brown, about 15 to 22 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the icing: In a large bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, melted butter, 1 tablespoon buttermilk, vanilla and almond extracts. If the icing isn't thin enough to drizzle, add more buttermilk. It should be a little thicker than heavy cream.
- Using a fork, drizzle icing all over the cooled cookies, then top with almond slices if you like. Let the icing set for at least 1 hour, then store at room temperature in an airtight container. The cookies will keep for at least 3 days.

Tips:
- Use softened butter for the best results. Softened butter is easier to cream with the sugar, resulting in a smoother cookie dough.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
- Do not overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
These almond butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. The cookies are soft and chewy, with a sweet and nutty flavor. The frosting is the perfect complement to the cookies, adding a touch of sweetness and creaminess.
