Categories     Cookie

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Cups Butter (room temperature) (2 Cups of Butter is 4 sticks)
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
2 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tsp Almond Extract
5 Cups Flour

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar.
  • Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and almond extracts.
  • Stir in the flour. The dough will still be sticky at this point.
  • Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prepare baking sheets by either lining them with parchment paper or spraying them with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Roll the cookie dough out on a floured surface.
  • The dough may be a little sticky at first, just sprinkle the top of the dough so the rolling pin doesn't stick.
  • Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut out in desired shapes.
  • If you are going to sprinkle the cookies with sanding sugar instead of frosting, do so before baking pressing the sanding sugar down onto the dough slightly to make them stick.
  • Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Larger cookies may take longer.
  • The cookies shouldn't brown except for on the very bottom edges very lightly.
  • Cool completely before frosting.
  • Store in an airtight container with wax paper in-between the layers of cookies.
