Ingredients

The following ingredients have 42 Servings
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 2/3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • (optional) chocolate chips, melted chocolate, sprinkles, sanding sugar, or nonpareils for decorating

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Arrange oven rack in center of oven.
  • Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer on medium speed, cream your butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt, mixing just until combined.  Turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture mixing just until incorporated.
  • Fill the cookie press and press the cookies onto a cool baking sheet about 1 inch apart.  Bake in a preheated oven for 6-7 minutes or until very lightly browned on the edges.  Start by creaming your butter and powdered sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy.  Then add the egg, almond extract, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing just until combined.  Now turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture mixing just until incorporated.  Then fill the cookie press with the mixture and press the cookies onto a cool ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart.  Bake in a preheated oven for about 6 minutes or until golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 3-4  minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
  • Wait for the cookies to fully cool before dunking or drizzling them with chocolate or powdered sugar glaze.  Decorate with sprinkles, sanding sugar, or nonpareils immediately after.  If you want to decorate without dunking or drizzling, simply speckle with sprinkles, sanding sugar, or nonpareils before placing them in the oven to bake.
