1 cup confectioner’s sugar
½ tsp almond extract

Directions:

Cookies:
v  In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until its fluffy.  Beat in extract; gradually add flour until the dough forms a ball.   Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
v  Roll into 1 inch balls and put them on your ungreased cookie sheet about an inch apart.  Use the end of a spoon handle and make indentations in middle of the cookie and fill with jam.

v  Add additional jam to your cookies if you like this point.

Glaze:
