Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

  3. Chill the lined baking sheets.
  4. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

  6. Gradually blend in the all-purpose flour and salt until fully mixed.
  7. Fit a cookie press with a decorative plate and fill it with the dough.
  8. Press cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. If the dough feels soft, chill the cookies again.

  12. Decorate with melted chocolate or sprinkles if desired.

Notes

For best results, ensure butter is softened, and don’t skip the chilling step to prevent spreading.
