Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Colored sugar (optional)
- 1 recipe Powdered Sugar Icing (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, vanilla, and, if desired, almond extract until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
2. Force unchilled dough through a cookie press onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm but not brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
3. Makes about 84 cookies
