Instructions
0 Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. 1 In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter [adjustable](¾ cup, i.e. 1 ½ sticks) and granulated sugar (¾ cup)[/adjustable] on medium speed for 20-30 seconds. Mix in egg [adjustable](1 large), vanilla extract (2 teaspoons), and almond extract (1 teaspoon). Add in baking powder (1 teaspoon), salt (½ teaspoon), and all-purpose flour (2 cups)[/adjustable] and mix until combined. 10 Transfer to a flour-covered surface and use a rolling pin to roll the dough 3/8" to 1/2" thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out dough. 6 Bake at 350℉ for 8-10 minutes. Depending on size of your cookie cutter and thickness of dough, you may need to bake for a few extra minutes (small cookies less than 2" will bake for less time, closer to the 8 minutes). Allow to cool before decorating. 8 Spread or pipe frosting on top of cooled sugar cookies and decorate as desired, using the tips and tricks in the blog post above! 9 Store in airtight container for 2-3 days or freeze for later.View original recipe
