Calories: 85kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 large egg
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- assorted colored sugars/sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until very pale and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts until incorporated.
- Add the egg and beat until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir together until just barely combined.
- Load the dough into a cookie press, and form shapes on cool, ungreased, unlined baking sheets.
- Sprinkle with colored sugar/sprinkles to garnish.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden around the edges.
Notes
Use cool, ungreased, unlined baking sheets so the dough sticks to the pan and releases cleanly from the press.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
