Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

Step 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.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely before dusting with confectioners' sugar.
