Learn How it Works...
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup cold Land O Lakes® Butter, cut into chunks
1 large Land O Lakes® Egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
STEP 2
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl; set aside.
STEP 3
Place sugar and butter into bowl of heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Beat at medium speed until well combined. Add egg, vanilla and almond extract; beat until well mixed. Gradually add flour mixture, beating at low speed until just combined.
STEP 4
While removing dough from bowl, knead to incorporate crumbs and form smooth dough. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness.
STEP 5
Cut into shapes with 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Place onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until just beginning to brown around edges. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
