Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 -½ cups Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 4 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Almond Extract
  • 4 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 cup Confectioners Sugar
  • 1-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 drop fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup

Instruction

  • In a mixer, beat butter and sugar until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  • Add in 2 eggs and 2 egg yolks and mix until combined.
  • Add in vanilla and almond extract; mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Slowly (about a cup at a time) add flour to butter mixture and combine.
  • Mix ingredients until they are combined, if you over-mix this dough it can get tough.
  • Put dough in some Saran wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, up to overnight.
  • When you are ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough out (this can take some time as the dough is stiff), cut out cookies, and bake for 6-8 minutes. Some readers have also suggested chilling the cut out cookie dough before baking.
