Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add the egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
  5. Step 5: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  6. Step 6: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Step 7: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
