  Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool until still slightly warm; placed slivered almonds on top of each cookie; drizzle with almond glaze. NOTE: I usually slide the parchment paper with cookies right on to the wire racks to cool. Once cooled to slightly warm, I then slide cookies onto wire rack, removing parchment paper. Place the used parchment paper under rack and then drizzle cookies with glaze. For easy clean up you can now toss the parchment paper.
