Rolling Pin
Parchment Paper (optional)
Cookie Cutters
13 inch Angled Spatula
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric stand mixer or hand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, and vanilla and almond extracts.
Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Once the dough mixes into a ball, you’re done mixing. Test that the dough is sticky and holds a shape but doesn’t stick to your fingers. Do not chill dough.
Divide the dough into 2 balls, then form them into 2 inch thick rectangles discs. This will keep the dough from falling apart while rolling, and the rectangular shape will help you cut more cookies out of each rolling.
On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick.
Dip the cookie cutter in flour before each use and cut out shapes.
Roll-out sugar cookies
Bake the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet(s) with parchment paper (optional). Bake for 8-11 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Move the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
