Ingredients
- 230 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract (optional)
- 280 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) to the bowl. Beat until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Continue until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
Step 6
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, or use a cookie press if you prefer. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, forming shapes such as rosettes, stars, or lines. Leave at least 1 inch of space between cookies.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are just slightly golden. Do not overbake.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
