Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Beat together softened butter and sugar very well, so it’s pale and fluffy, and increased in volume. That can take up to 5 minutes.
  • Then add an egg, vanilla and almond extract and beat again until smooth consistency.
  • Add dry ingredients (flour and salt) and mix again on low speed so not to overmix the dough. You want to keep the dough light and airy!
  • If you are using a cookie press, just follow the manufacture instructions to fill the dough. Then press the dough on a baking sheet (do not use parchment paper!)
  • Put the baking sheet with the pressed cookies to the refrigerator for 10 minutes. It will help them to keep the shape while baking.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 7-9 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are light golden color. Let them sit on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
