Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Cream the butter and sugar until light, then beat in the egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets.
  2. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture on low speed just until combined.
  3. Divide the dough, roll each half ¼ inch thick between parchment, and chill for at least 45 minutes.
  4. Cut out shapes, place on baking sheets, and bake for 8 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
  5. Decorate with tinted icing and let it set before serving.

Notes

The dough requires at least 45 minutes of chilling, so plan that into your timeline. If you prefer a thicker cookie, roll the dough to ⅓ inch and add a minute or two to the bake time, watching for pale but set centers.
