Serves/Makes: 36
Ready in: 1-2 hrs
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- red or pink decorator's sugar, optional
Combine the butter and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until well creamed. Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract and mix for 1 minute. With the mixer running, add the flour in 1/2 cup increments, mixing well after each addition. Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1-4 hours (or overnight). Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roll the dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured work surface. Cut with heart-shaped cookie cutters (2-3 inch size) and place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle the cookies with decorator's sugar, if desired. Place the cookies in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, or until they are just beginning to brown around the edges. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for 1 minute, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container.
