Almond Butter Icing Recipes

Steps:

• I recommend using a stand mixer, if you have one, if you would also like to achieve the super light frosting feel. Even if you don't have one, you can still get that lightness, it will just involve you standing there with your hand mixer for a lot longer than you might want to stand there. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until it's a smooth consistency. Add in the powdered sugar, salt, and both extracts. Mix these well. Start adding in the milk a little at a time, especially if it becomes too difficult to mix the original mixture. Keep adding milk and beating the mixture until you reach your desired consistency. After you've added all the ingredients, add food coloring, if desired.

Steps:

• whip butter until fluffy.
• add almond butter and continue whipping.
• add vanilla extract an molasses.
• slowly add powdered sugar and whip until blended and fluffy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Beat butter and sugar, in large bowl, with electric mixer on high speed until creamy. Add egg and almond extract, mixing well. Gradually add flour, mixing well.
• Rolldough into 1-inch balls (or bigger for bigger cookies). Place 2 inches (or adjust as appropriate) apart on greased baking sheet. Dip a flat-bottomed glass into sugar and flatten balls.
• Bake 10-12 minutes until bottom of cookies are golden brown. Cool 1 minute on baking sheet, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
• To prepare frosting, combine sugar and almond extract until smooth. Stir in milk, as needed, until frosting is spreading consistency. Spread on each cookie; top with an almond slice.
