2/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

  • In small microwave-safe bowl, combine icing ingredients. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir; continue microwaving, stirring every 10 seconds, until chocolate is melted and can be stirred smooth. Drizzle icing over cooled cookies. Let stand until icing is set before storing. Store in loosely covered container.
