Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased for better dough adherence.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Fill your cookie press with the dough, following the manufacturer's instructions. Choose your preferred disk shape to create a variety of decorative cookies.
Press the cookies directly onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. If desired, decorate with sprinkles or colored sugar before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Do not overbake.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
