You will love this recipe because it is EASY, doesn’t need to be chilled, the cookies easily holds their shape & the baked cookies freeze well! These are going to be your go-to sugar cookies! You can make these for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day and so much more!

Ingredients

• 1 Cup unsalted butter, 226 grams
• 1 Cup granulated white sugar, 200 grams
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all purpose flour, 360 grams

Instructions

• What should the texture feel like?
  • The final dough really comes together and has a texture close to Play-Doh.
• How do I know if the butter is ready?
  • Butter should be room temperature (it’s usually ready after about 10-15 minutes of sitting out). If you can press your finger into the butter and easily make a deep indent then the butter is too soft. Cutting the butter into cubes can make it easy for mixing!
• Can I skip the almond extract?
  • Yes! Just use vanilla extract instead!
