Holiday Baking; Almond cookies

These aren't really a holiday type cookie, but this is the only time of year that I seem to bake them. 

Almond Cookies
Cream Together;
    1 C Butter - softened
    1 C Granular Sugar
Then add, mixing after each addition;
    2 Egg yolks
    1 C Almonds - ground fine
    1 tsp. Almond Extract
    2 1/2 C All Purpose Flour

Dust hands with more flour, & roll dough into 1 inch balls.  Place on ungreased cookie sheets, use the bottom of a round glass to flatten balls (dip bottom of glass in flour so dough doesn't stick). 

Bake 350 Degrees, 9-15 minutes. 


Icing
    2 tsp. Instant tea (not flavored)
    1/4 C Butter - softened
    1 1/4 C Powdered Sugar
    2 Tbsp. Milk

Cream together butter & tea.  Add in powdered sugar & milk, stir until smooth.  Ice tops of cooled cookies. 

*If you want to be fancy, decorate the iced tops with a slivered almond or two.
