Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 0 as desired Edible flowers, sprinkles, or icing (optional, for decoration)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together and is smooth.
Step 5
Lightly flour a clean countertop or cutting board. Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 6
Using your favorite cookie cutters, cut out shapes (hearts, flowers, etc.) and place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn golden. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once the cookies are fully cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for a simple finish. Alternatively, decorate with edible flowers, sprinkles, or icing as desired.
Step 9
Serve with a pot of tea and enjoy a delightful treat that is perfect for Mother's Day.
