Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.66 cup granulated sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased for best results.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) into the creamed butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fill a cookie press with the dough, selecting the disk shape of your choice. Press the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool for 1-2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 9
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
