- Bake for about 8 minutes, the cookies will have just begun to brown at the edge when ready.
- Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.

Notes
- The cookie dough can be made well in advance. It keeps for about a week in the fridge and a month in the freezer. Make sure to wrap very well and defrost before portioning out.
- If your butter isn't room temp just cut the sticks into a few slices and microwave on 50% power in 5 second bursts. Flip the butter with every burst.
- Cover the cookies with more almond slices for extra crunch and flavor.
- Amaretto added to the glaze in place of the water and almond extract is pretty tasty, just putting that out there :)
