Cocoa Almond Cut-Out Cookies

Directions

In large mixer bowl, beat butter, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla and almond extract until well blended.

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended.

Stir in almonds. Divide dough into 4 equal parts.

Wrap each in plastic wrap; flatten into disk.

Chill until firm enough to roll, about 2 hours.

Heat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Remove one part of dough at a time from refrigerator.

Roll to about ⅛ inch thickness on floured surface.

Cut into desired shapes.

Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until set.

Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

Drizzle chocolate glaze over top, if desired.
