Sugar Cookies

I found this sugar cookie recipe on Annie's Eats last year and fell in love with it - trust me when I tell you it makes the perfect sugar cookies.  I think the almond extract plays a big part in that but whatever it is, we love them.  I made cookies for Colin's teachers as part of their Christmas gift and they all really liked them too.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 ½ t. almond extract
1 t. vanilla
1 t. salt
2 ½ c. sifted flour

Directions:Cream butter. Add powdered sugar. Blend in egg, almond extract, vanilla, salt and flour. Chill dough until firm. Roll to ¼” thickness on well-floured surface. Cut with cookie cutters. Place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 min. Cookies should not brown. Frost and decorate when cool. Yields ~25 cookies.
