1 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (if using unsalted butter)

  • To bake: Preheat oven to 350. Roll out and cut with cookie cutters. Place on either a greased cookie sheet or one lined with a silpat liner or parchment paper. Bake 8-10 minutes for thin cookies or 15 minutes+ for thick cookies or cookies on a stick. When they are lightly browned, they are ready. Cool on pan for 1-2 minutes, transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before decorating. Use your favorite icing recipe.
