Ingredients

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 package (7 or 8 oz) almond paste (not marzipan)
1 egg
1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ oatmeal cookie mix
1 tablespoon water
24 unblanched whole almonds
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat butter and almond paste with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Beat in egg until well blended. Stir in cookie mix and 1 tablespoon water until soft dough forms.
Using cookie scoop (2-tablespoon size), drop dough by level scoopfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Press 1 almond in center of each mound of dough.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
In small bowl, mix icing ingredients until smooth. Drizzle icing over cookies.
