Almond Kiss Cookies

Almond Kiss Cookies:

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg 

1 tsp almond extract

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

additional sugar

chocolate kisses( with or without almonds)

Glaze:

1 cup icing sugar

1 tbsp milk

4 tsp raspberry jelly

1/4 tsp almond extract

Cream butter and sugars. Beat in egg and extract. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. If mixture seems dry I sometimes add 1-2 tbsp of water just to hold it together better. Cover and chill for 1 hour. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll in additional sugar. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake @ 325 for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Press a chocolate kiss into the centre of each cookie. Cool. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over cookies.
