Ingredients

• For the cookies
• 1 1/2 cups (163g) powdered sugar
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (I used McCormick)
• 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
• 2 1/2 cups (330g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• For the frosting
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups (454g) powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 4-5 tablespoons milk
• Optional garnish - sprinkles

Directions

• Mix sugar and butter. Add egg and flavorings; mix thoroughly. Measure flour. Stir dry ingredients together and blend in. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Divide dough in half and roll 3/16 thick on lightly floured surface. (I roll it between two sheets of parchment.) Cut with cookie cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheet or, if using parchment paper to roll out cookies, just place the parchment paper with cut cookies right onto a cookie sheet. Bake 7-9 minutes or until delicately golden. Makes 30 (3) round cookies.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat butter, sugar, milk and vanilla together until smooth and creamy. Frost cookies and add sprinkles, if desired.
