Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the egg then the add the almond extract. Add the flour and mix well.
Cover and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/2 cm thickness. Cut into rectangles with a knife about 9cm by 6cm.
Place the biscuits on a baking tray with a pallet knife, taking care not to misshape them. Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to allow to cool.
Roll out the white icing and cut out rectangular shapes to fit the top of the cookies. Paint the back with a little water then lay the icing centrally on top of the cookies.
