Spiced almond cookies with orange glaze.
Ingredients:
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup shortening
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup finely chopped almonds
  • 3 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 0.66666668653488 cup orange marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 0.5 cup sliced almonds for garnish
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and mix together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Using an electric mixer, blend the shortening and butter until smooth. Add sugar and continue to mix until combined. Fold in the chopped almonds and orange zest. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well combined.
  • Transfer the cookie dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a 13-inch long rectangle. Use a fluted pastry wheel or a sharp paring knife to cut the dough into 3 1/2-inch rectangles. Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, approximately 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool briefly on the baking sheets, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Mix together the sifted confectioners' sugar, orange marmalade, and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cookies and top with sliced almonds for extra flair.
