4 dozen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • 1 egg

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions

  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.
