Time 17m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Cream together softened butter and confectioners sugar.
  • Whisk egg and flavor extracts in a separate bowl.
  • Add the egg mixture to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix until egg is thoroughly incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture, little by little, to the butter/sugar/egg mixture. You can tell the dough is ready when most of it sticks to the paddle. When touched, it has a little big, but does not stick to fingers.
  • Roll out 1/4inch thick onto parchment paper. Dust as necessary with confectioners sugar instead of flour.
  • Cut with your favorite cookie cutters, place on baking pan, and bake at 400 degrees for 7-8 minutes.
  • For high altitude, add 1/4 cup of flour and reduce sugar by 2 tablespoons bake at 415 for 4 minutes.
