Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat shortening and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in eggs and almond extract. Gradually add in the flour mixture until combined.

Step 4

Using a cookie scoop, shape dough into 1 1/2-inch sized balls. Place on baking sheets at least 1-inch apart (do not flatten.)

Step 5

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms are just slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 6

For the Icing: in a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, almond extract, and salt until smooth (add more powdered sugar if it's too thin or more milk if it's too thick. It should be thick, but drizzling consistency.)

Step 7

Dip the tops of cookies in the icing; allow excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment paper and top with the sprinkles; let stand until completely set and enjoy!
