Ingredients

Instructions

  • First Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream the sugar and cold butter.
  • Add the egg, vanilla and almond extracts to the mixture.
  • Add the Flour and baking powder (I would mix these together first before adding them to the wet mixture).
  • This dough will have a crumbly texture so knead it together with your hands to prepare it for rolling it out.
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface and cut into the shapes you want.
  • Tip: Freeze the shapes of dough before you bake them because it helps to keep the shapes.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes
  • Transfer to a cooling rack when complete.
