Vanilla-Almond Sugar Cut-Out Cookies (Anne)

-
Many moons ago (we shall not talk age here) a friend of mine shared her recipe for cut out cookies with me. I never looked back :) Have fun!

3 cups of flour
2 tsp baking powder

1 cup salted butter
1 cup sugar

1 egg
3/4 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract

Cream butter and sugar.
Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
Mix in flour and baking powder.

Once you have a nice dough let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before rolling and cutting. You don't have too, but it does make rolling it out easier.

Bake at 350 F (175 C) for about 13 minutes.

I am lazy, so I bought those nice and easy icing pens for the kids. It was less than $4 for four small tubes in different colors (walmart). Win win in my books since it is a lot less messy than trying to make colorful icing with the kids.

Here are some of the cookies my kiddos made this week:


...just you know... ignore the football team cookies. This household has not good taste!😡
