Ingredients
1 cup butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined.
- Add milk one tablespoon at a time to achieve a soft, pipeable dough.
- Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe into rings or swirls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill piped cookies for 10–15 minutes (optional, helps retain shape).
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use real butter for the best flavor and texture.
- Dip in or drizzle with chocolate for an extra touch.
- Chilling piped dough helps maintain defined shapes.
- Sprinkle coarse or colored sugar for festive flair.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for later.
