3 c unbleached, all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 c sugar (I use sugar that I've stored vanilla beans in)
2 sticks salted butter, cold
1 egg
3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp pure almond extract
Preheat oven to 350.
Combine the flour and baking powder, set aside. Cream the sugar and
butter. Add the egg and extracts and mix. Gradually add the flour
mixture and beat just until combined, scraping down the bowl, especially
the bottom.
The dough will be crumbly, so knead it together with your hands as
you scoop it out of the bowl for rolling (video on University of
Cookie).
Roll onto a floured surface and cut into shapes. Place on parchment
lined baking sheets (I recommend freezing the cut out shape on the
baking sheet for 5 minutes before baking) and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Let sit a few minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
