Steps:
- With electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl until light. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Beat in extracts. Add flour and salt and stir until just combined.

- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out one dough disk on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out cookies with cookie cutter and place on baking sheets.
