Equipment

- Mixing Bowl or KitchenAid
- Spatula
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie Cutters
- Measuring Cups + Spoons
- Cookie Sheets
- Parchment paper
- Frosting and Sprinkles
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Butter This totals 4 sticks
- 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 6 Cups Flour
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tsp. Almond or Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. Salt
Instructions
- Mix the butter (room temperature), sugar, almond extract, and eggs in a large mixing bowl at medium speed. I use the bowl of an electric mixer.
- In another bowl mix together the flour mixture: flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add it into the bowl with the wet ingredients: eggs, butter, sugar, and extract. I like to add it in one cup at a time.
- Mix until the dough forms and becomes a smooth ball. Scrap the sides of the bowl and wrap the dough with plastic wrap. Place the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill.
- Pre-heat the oven now to 350 degrees f. and get your prepared baking sheet ready on the counter. I place parchment paper over a cookie sheet.
