Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 0.75 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup confectioners’ sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  2. Beat butter, sugar, and egg together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Blend in flour, then use your hands to form a soft dough. Take about a teaspoon of dough at a time and roll into balls, logs, or “S” shapes. Place cookies 1 to 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely before dusting with confectioners’ sugar.
