Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs (at room temperature)
3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter (softened to room temperature (can use salted or unsalted))
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon milk (or heavy cream, if needed)
pink food coloring (you only need a couple drops)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
Make cookies. Cream butter and sugar in stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla, and almond extract and mix until well combined. Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until combined.
Using a 1/3 measuring cup, portion the dough into round balls. Place about 6 balls of dough on a parchment or baking mat lined baking sheet. Using the palm of your hand, press down gently on the top of the cookie, so that the dough is like a thick disc. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are no longer shiny.
Remove from oven and let cool on pan for 5 mins then transfer to wire rack to cool completely
Make frosting: cream butter. Add the powdered sugar, almond extract, cream, and a drop of pink food coloring. Beat until smooth.
Frost the tops of each cookie. These cookies are normally served chilled at Crumbl.
