1

With an electric mixer or hand mixer, cream butter, and sugar. Add egg and blend well. Add extracts and blend.

2

Mix salt and flour together separately, then gradually add to the wet ingredients. Knead into a ball.

3

Cover dough and chill for about 2 hours (this step is a must!).

4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Working with about 1/3 of the batch at a time, briefly knead the chilled dough and roll about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface.

5

Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes with the dough.

6

Bake cookies on parchment paper-lined baking trays for about 12-14 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden.

7

Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and frost as desired. I highly suggest using our homemade buttercream frosting recipe. Enjoy!
