Delicious sugar cookies, especially if you use the vanilla and almond extracts together. Perfect for roll-and-cut Christmas cookies. Can also be formed into logs for slice-and-bake cookies. Thanks to PetitFour for the original recipe! Prep time includes chilling time.
Ingredients:
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temp
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla (or half vanilla and half almond extract)
Directions:
1. Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl.
2. Using stand mixer or hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down bowl each time, then vanilla and/or almond extract.
4. Add flour mixture gradually and mix at low speed until comes together.
5. Turn out onto flat surface.
6. Knead a couple of times just until smooth.
7. Pat into a flat disk, wrap in plastic and chill until firm enough to roll, about one hour.
8. Roll and cut as desired.
9. Bake at 350 about 8-10 minutes on parchment-lined sheets.
