“Not only do they come in all shapes and sizes, they have the advantage of being different flavors, too! The traditional sugar cookie is easy-peasy! Your ingredients are 1 cup butter, softened; 1 cup sugar; 2 large eggs; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1 teaspoon almond extract; 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt. Preheat your oven to 350° , and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. While waiting for it to heat up, beat the butter and sugar at medium s...peed with an electric mixer, until fluffy. (No bat necessary.) Then beat in the eggs, vanilla and almond extract until combined (again, don’t use a bat). In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually you’ll add this combination to your sugar mixture, and beat (without a bat) until smooth. When complete, wrap dough in heavy-duty plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour. When the hour is up, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness, on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough with your sleigh bell, Santa, tree, and reindeer cookie cutters.MoreLessRead More Read Less
