YIELD:3 dozen |
UNITS:US |
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In the bowl of your mixer cream butter and sugar until smooth.
- Beat in extracts and egg.
- In a separate bowl combine baking powder with flour and add a little at a time to the wet ingredients. The dough will be very stiff. If it becomes too stiff for your mixer turn out the dough onto a countertop surface. Wet your hands and finish off kneading the dough by hand.
- DO NOT CHILL THE DOUGH. Divide into workable batches, roll out onto a floured surface and cut. You want these cookies to be on the thicker side (closer to 1/4 inch rather than 1/8).
- Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.
