Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • Icing for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and optional almond extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Chill the dough by dividing it into two disks and wrapping in plastic wrap for at least 30 minutes.
  7. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut out shapes.
  8. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool completely before decorating with icing if desired.

Notes

Chilling the dough is crucial for achieving the no-spread feature. Use heavy-duty parchment paper to prevent sticking.
