Instructions
To prepare cookies, combine first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat; cook 3 minutes or until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly (do not boil).
Pour sugar mixture into a large bowl; cool to room temperature.
Add coffee and egg to sugar mixture, stirring with a whisk. Stir in almonds and orange peel.
Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine flour and next 6 ingredients (through salt) in a medium bowl.
Add flour mixture to sugar mixture, stirring to form a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 1 minute or until well combined. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 24 hours.
Cover two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Working with 1 portion of dough at a time, roll dough into an 8 x 6inch rectangle.
Cut each rectangle into 16 (3 x 1inch) bars; place bars 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake at 325 for 20 minutes or until firm.
Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar and remaining ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle glaze over warm cookies.
