1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup whole almonds
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup apricot jam or preserves
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray.

  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the powdered sugar over each rectangle. Add remaining powdered sugar and the water to reserved jam; stir until smooth. Place in small food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut small tip from one corner of bag; squeeze glaze on top of dusted rectangles in diagonal crisscross pattern. Let stand 30 minutes to set.

I'm not a big fan of almond flavor, so I used vanilla extract instead. The cookies still turned out great.

I've tried many Vienna tea cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more butter next time.
