Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened (226 g)
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar (140 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (300 g)

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, and salt in a large bowl until the mixture is light and airy.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  4. Slowly add the flour, mixing only until it is just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Put parchment paper on cookie sheets.
  6. Use a cookie press to form the dough onto the lined sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between cookies.
  7. Bake for 6-8 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent any browning.
