Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
- 375 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each portion into a disc, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes.
Transfer the cutout cookies to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just set and begin to turn slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat with the remaining dough, re-rolling scraps as needed.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, decorate as desired with royal icing, sprinkles, or any of your favorite toppings.
