Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
• 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Divide the dough into two equal portions and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the dough is firm and easy to roll out.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Re-roll the scraps of dough and repeat the cutting process until all the dough is used.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating or serving.
