Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter softened (not melted)
- 2 tbsp butter flavored shortening
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp light corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and line your cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In your mixer, cream sugar, butter, shortening, and salt until light and fluffy.
- Add egg, corn syrup, vanilla and almond extract and beat until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda and baking powder. Add to wet ingredients.
- Scoop (I use the cookie scoop tool) and roll into balls. Pat down balls a bit. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool until warm.
- Make almond frosting: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, ½ tsp. almond extract and a few tablespoons of milk (until it's the consistency you want).
- Drizzle frosting over warm cookies. Add sprinkles if desired.
